2020 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS
October 13, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Various Networks, 6:00 p.m. ET

 
Postseason baseball continues. At 6 p.m. ET on Fox, the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Atlanta Braves for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. The Braves won last night’s Game 1, but even if you were rooting against the Braves, there was one bright spot: With the stadium virtually empty, that annoying Braves “chant” was all but stifled. Then, at 8:40 p.m. ET on TBS, it’s Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, with the Tampa Bay Rays, after yesterday’s victory, now enjoying a 2-0 series lead over the Houston Astros. And that game, by the way, featured two wildly noteworthy plays from Rays outfielder Manuel Margot. In the first inning, he slammed a three-run homer – his third home run of this still-young postseason, even though he’d hit only one ball out of the park in all of the regular season. And then, one inning later, Margot caught a ball in foul territory that sent him head over heels – and over the right-field fence – without dropping the ball (pictured).
