The Blue Jays attack starter Derek Holland of the Rangers early and often to win Game 4 of the other ALDS, 8 – 4. Josh Donaldson hits a two-run homer before Holland can record an out and Chris Colabello adds a solo shot in the 1st, before Kevin Pillar goes deep in the 2nd; Toronto then adds three more runs in the 3rd.

The Cubs win Game 2 of the NLDS, 5 – 2, over the Giants at Wrigley Field by jumping on starter Jeff Samardzija for 4 runs over the first two innings.

Furcal is out for passing a preceding runner, losing credit for a potential triple.
