Buster Posey hit the third grand slam in Giants' postseason history as San Francisco pulled off an unprecedented revival, moving into the championship series with a 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds to wrap up the NL Divisional Series. The Giants became the first NL team to overcome a 2-0 deficit in the NLDS, which began in 1995. Major League Baseball's changed playoff format this season allowed them to become the first to take a best-of-five by winning the last three on the road. They will face the winner of the Washington-St. Louis series in the NLCS this Sunday.

Jayson Werth led off the bottom of the 9th inning with a 13-pitch at-bat against reliever Lance Lynn that ended with the ball landing beyond the wall in left field, giving the Washington Nationals a well-earned 2-1 victory over the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals to force a deciding Game 5 in the NL Division Series. The best-of-five series will end this Friday night in Washington, D.C. with the winner advancing to face the San Francisco Giants in the NLCS. The starters will provide a rematch of Game 1, which Washington won, with Gio Gonzalez on the mound for the Nationals and Adam Wainwright for the Cardinals.

The Baltimore Orioles won Game 4 of the AL Divisional Series by bouncing back to outlast the New York Yankees, 2-1, in 13 innings on J.J. Hardy's RBI double. The Orioles will get a chance to overtake the Yankees in a winner-take-all Game 5 this Friday afternoon. The teams have already split 22 games this year, and it all comes down this: a matchup for a spot in the AL Championship Series against the AL Central champion Detroit Tigers. Game 1 winner CC Sabathia is set to pitch the deciding game for the Yankees against Baltimore's Jason Hammel.
