2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL DIVISION SERIES
October 12, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TBS, 6:00 p.m. ET

 
The remaining National League teams play today also, in Game 3 of their respective series. First up, at 6 p.m. ET, is the St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs contest, which switches to Wrigley Field for Game 3, each team having won one game so far. Then, at 8:30 p.m. ET, is Game 3 of another series currently tied at 1-1, the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the New York Mets. Game 2 was especially significant because of Dodger base-runner Chase Utley’s arguably late slide into second base on a potential double-play ball. Utley not only slid into Mets second baseman Ruben Tejada (pictured) – he broke his leg. Tejada is out for the rest of the postseason, and Utley, on Sunday, was suspended for two games. Tonight the battle moves to New York and Citi Field, and the Mets fans, and probably the Mets themselves, will be highly emotional and motivated because of the loss of the team’s (literally) pivotal infield player.
