Chicago will make one more trip to Milwaukee for a winner-take-all game, and Los Angeles is advancing after a wild ending vs. Philadelphia.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy issued a warning for the rest of the league amid the Dodgers' postseason run.

Bases loaded, two outs in the 11th inning. Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages at the plate, looking to propel his team forward in its title defense. Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering on the mound, trying to keep his team's season alive. Pages broke his bat on a grounder to the mound. Kerkering bobbled it. And just like that, everything sped up.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated clinching their seventh trip to the NLCS in the past 10 seasons and most of the Philadelphia Phillies had already begun making their way toward the dugout, Orion Kerkering came out of his hunched-over stance and was met by his catcher, J.T. Realmuto.
