Brewers take command, Guardians rally past Rays, Bills edge Rams in overtime
Brewers take command!
This is The Sports Reset for Tuesday October 13th
In the MLB postseason, the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7 to 4 in NLCS Game 2, taking a two-games-to-none lead. William Contreras homered and drove in three runs, while four Milwaukee relievers retired all 15 batters they faced over five perfect innings. In the ALCS opener, the Cleveland Guardians rallied past the Tampa Bay Rays 7 to 3. Patrick Bailey tied it with a seventh-inning homer before Nathaniel Lowe’s two-run single put Cleveland ahead. In the NFL, Josh Allen produced 331 total yards and two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills edged the Los Angeles Rams 37 to 34 in overtime, with Tyler Bass winning it from 45 yards after Greg Rousseau blocked a Rams field-goal attempt. In NBA preseason play, the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the New York Knicks 122 to 104. In the NHL, the Buffalo Sabres topped the Florida Panthers 5 to 3, the Ottawa Senators beat the New Jersey Devils 4 to 1, and the Minnesota Wild handled the Vegas Golden Knights 4 to 2.
Looking ahead, MLB’s ALCS continues Tuesday with Cleveland visiting Tampa Bay for Game 2. The Guardians have won four straight postseason games, and their Game 1 lineup produced all seven runs over the final four innings. In the NHL, the Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Chicago Blackhawks, where Connor Bedard could make his season debut after shoulder surgery; Chicago’s new captain led the club with 75 points last season. The Colorado Avalanche meet the Dallas Stars, while the Edmonton Oilers visit the Los Angeles Kings. In NBA preseason action, the Golden State Warriors face the Lakers in Los Angeles. On Wednesday, the Dodgers host Milwaukee in NLCS Game 3, trying to answer a Brewers bullpen that has yet to allow a run in the series. Beyond the scoreboard, the NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw one game without pay for headbutting helmetless Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones IV, a ruling Greenlaw is appealing.
