- Old Friends Nathan Eovaldi and Giancarlo Stanton had huge individual performances in the Red Sox’s 6-2 AL Wild Card Game win over the Yankees.

- The Rockies and right-hander Antonio Senzatela agreed on a five-year, $50.5 million contract extension. That likely sets the floor on what Sandy Alcantara can expect to receive from the Marlins, assuming they’re able to reach the finish line on a deal.
