The Dodgers will open the MLB wild-card playoffs Wednesday against a Milwaukee Brewers team that backed its way into the National League's No. 8 seed.
Angels owner Arte Moreno will begin a search for his fourth general manager in 13 years after firing Billy Eppler following yet another losing season.Milwaukee’s game ended in time for the players to watch Padres closer Trevor Rosenthal strike out the side — including Joey Bart on a 99-mph fastball and Austin Slater on a 100-mph fastball — to close out the win in San Francisco.
The Brewers, who turned the ninth triple play in franchise history Sunday, and Houston Astros are the first teams to make the playoffs with losing records. “There’s no reason to apologize for getting into the playoffs,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. “We got in by watching TV … but we still celebrated. The record is irrelevant. We’re in [the playoffs] three years in a row. You can slice it any way you want, but that’s special.”The Brewers won 14 fewer games and scored 102 fewer runs than the Dodgers, and they will try to pull off a first-round upset with one important right arm tied behind their backs.
Corbin Burnes, the converted reliever who went 4-1 with a 2.11 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings, suffered a left-oblique strain Thursday and will not pitch in the first round. Left-hander Brett Anderson is also questionable after leaving Sunday’s game in the third inning because of a blister.
