The Giants face the Dodgers with both teams battling for a postseason slot and aces Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner opposing each other on the mound. Kershaw, recently back from a lengthy stay on the disabled list, gives up only one run in 6 innings, but Bumgarner is better, as he allows no runs on one hit while striking out 10 in 7 innings. However, he gets into a verbal clash with Dodgers RF Yasiel Puig at the end of the 7th, both benches clear, and when the 8th inning gets underway, it’s reliever Will Smith who is pitching. With Bumgarner out of the way, the Dodgers rally for two runs in the last two innings and walk off with a 2 – 1 win on Adrian Gonzalez’s run-scoring double in the 9th.

2013 – In Seattle’s 5 – 4 win over the Rays, the lead-off hitters for both teams flex their muscles. Brad Miller and Ben Zobrist both homer in their first at-bat, and again in the 5th inning. This has only happened once before in major league history, when Tony Phillips and Chuck Knoblauch, for the Tigers and Twins, both led off the game with a homer and added one later on in the game on June 5, 1994. Zobrist’s first long ball is the 100th of his career, while for Miller, it’s his first game in his home state of Florida.

St. Louis wins the first-ever National League Wild Card Game, defeating the Braves, 6 – 3, at Turner Field. 3B Chipper Jones, playing the last game of his career, commits a costly error for Atlanta in the 4th inning, throwing a potential double play grounder into right field, allowing St. Louis to score its first three runs that inning. The most controversial play takes place in the 8th, however, when SS Andrelton Simmons lifts a fly ball to shallow left that drops between LF Matt Holliday and SS Peter Kozma. But umpire Sam Holbrook calls the infield fly rule, and Simmons is out. A 19-minute delay ensues as fans pelt the field with debris; Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez files a protest, which is immediately dismissed by Major League Baseball Vice-President Joe Torre, allowing the game to resume. Jason Motte then records the final four outs of the game.
