The Padres win a wild game against the Cardinals holding on in the ninth inning after Trevor Rosenthal allowe a home run and put the tying runs on base. He retired the next three batters for the 11-9 win in a 4:19 game. The Padres power bats came to life as they hit five home runs, two each by Fernando Tatis and Wil Myers. This forces a game three today.

The Dodgers sweep the Brewers with a 3-0 victory. Brandon Woodruff and Clayton Kershaw matched goose eggs until the fifth inning. Then with two out in the fifth, Austin Barnes singled in the only run needed, and Mookie Betts followed with a double to ice the cake. Kershaw went on to pitch eight shutout innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out 13. The Dodgers await the winner of the Cardinals-Padres series.

The Central divisions sent six teams to the post-season, but the Cardinals are the only team left.
