MLB Roundup 10/2: Nationals win Wild Card Game with late rally

Well, that was exciting. The MLB Playoffs got off to a hell of a start on Tuesday with the National League Wild Card Game going right down to the wire with a big-time comeback from the home team in the eighth inning and the Nationals holding on for the victory. This one got off to a surprising start with the Brewers jumping all over Max Scherzer in the first inning. Two batters into the game Milwaukee had themselves a 2-0 lead, and they’d get a solo homer from Eric Thames in the second to go up 3-0.
