Saturday MLB playoffs open thread: Giants and Nationals and Dodgers vs Cardinals

Home teams in the Division Series are 2-4, with Baltimore winning both of them. Of course, if Detroit had any semblance of a bullpen, perhaps the road teams would have won all 6 games played so far.

Today both AL Division Series are off, so the NL takes center stage:

2014 NLDS Game 2

San Francisco at Washington, 5:30 PM (FS1)

San Francisco leads series 1-0

Late home runs by Bryce Harper and LGFT Asdrubal Cabrera weren't quite enough, as the Giants edged the Nationals 3-2. Today Washington sends Jordan Zimmerman to the mound; the last time Zimmerman appeared in a game, he threw a no-hitter.

NLDS Game 2

St. Louis at Los Angeles, 9:30 PM (MLB Network)

St. Louis leads series 1-0

Yesterday a game started by Clayton Kershaw and Adam Wainwright ended up with a 10-9 final score, which totally makes sense. Zack Greinke and Lance Lynn try to restore some sanity to the series tonight.
