Dodgers Grab Walkoff Win to Tie NLCS With Brewers

And Red Sox take the lead over Astros in ALCS amid reports of new cheating scandal.

The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off a walkoff victory early Wednesday to tie the National League Championship Series with the Milwaukee Brewers at 2-2. The Dodgers had only scored two runs over their last 23 innings and struck out 31 times over the past two games, but the team snatched a 2-1 victory in the 13th innings and holds the momentum as they head into Game 5 on Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox punished the Houston Astros 8-2 at Minute Maid Park, taking a 2-1 lead in the American League Championship Series—but the result was overshadowed by reports that the Astros were caught cheating in Game 1 of the ALCS. According to a report by Boston Metro, security officials removed a man in a first-base photo pit who claimed to be an Astros employee, had a camera, and was texting on his cellphone in a suspicious manner. Major League Baseball issued a statement Tuesday saying it’s aware of the matter and it will be handled internally.
