Congrats Braves’ men. Your team evened the series and took the momentum back.

Padres evened up the series with the Dodgers. I am hoping that series goes all 5 games while the Braves can close out the Phillies in Philadelphia without the need for a Game 5. If Snitker made a better decision in Game 1 then we would be looking at possibly sweeping them tomorrow. That is the difference between an elite manager vs a good manager.

On October 13 in Baseball History...​
  • 1903 - The Boston Pilgrims won the first World Series, five games to three, with a 3-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • 1914 - The Boston Braves completed a sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics, first in World Series history, with a 3-1 victory.

  • 1915 - The Phillies get four runs early off Red Sox hurler Rube Foster in Game Five. The Red Sox break a tie in the ninth inning for the third time in the World Series, as reliever Eppa Rixey gives up Harry Hooper's second home run of the game and Boston wins 5-4 to take the Series in five.

  • 1921 - Art Nehf tossed a 1-0, four-hitter against the New York Yankees for the World Series title in eight games. The Giants scored their run in the first inning on an error by shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh.

  • 1960 - Bill Mazeroski opened the bottom of the ninth with a home run off Ralph Terry of the Yankees to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 10-9 victory and the World Series in seven games.

  • 1965 - Jim "Mudcat" Grant does it all himself, hitting a three-run home run and pitching a 5-1 win at Minnesota to knot the World Series with the Dodgers after six games.

  • 1970 - The Orioles win their third straight over the Reds, 9-3, with winning pitcher Dave McNally slugging a grand slam. Frank Robinson and Don Buford also contribute homers and third baseman Brooks Robinson continues his excellence with the glove as he makes two spectacular grabs in the field.

  • 1971 - The first World Series night game was played in Pittsburgh with the Pirates beating Baltimore 4-3. Roberto Clemente had three hits for Pittsburgh.
  • 1973 - The Mets hold the A's to four hits in the World Series opener, but three of those hits come in the two-run third inning as the A's win 2-1.

  • 1974 - Los Angeles, behind Don Sutton, evens the Series with a 3-2 win. The Dodgers score in the second off Vida Blue, and a two-run home run by Joe Ferguson in the sixth provides the winning margin.

  • 1978 - New York third baseman Graig Nettles put on a fielding clinic and prevented seven runs as the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in the third game of the World Series. Nettles made four spectacular stops and gave the Yankees the first victory of the series.

  • 1979 - Baltimore scores six runs in the eighth inning en route to a 9-6 win, taking a 3-1 Series advantage over the Pirates. Pinch-hit doubles by John Lowenstein and Terry Crowley drive in four runs.

  • 1984 - A pair of two-run home runs by Alan Trammell provide all Detroit's scoring as Jack Morris beats the Padres 4-2 in Game Four. The Tigers are now just one win away from the title.

  • 1985 - The Cardinals rout the Dodgers, 12-2, to even the NLCS. The Cards, however, lose rookie sensation Vince Coleman to one of the more bizarre injuries in major-league history. Coleman is stretching before the game when his left leg becomes caught in Busch Stadium's automated tarpaulin as it unrolls across the infield, trapping him for about 30 seconds. He does not play again in 1985.

  • 1993 - Tommy Greene of Philadelphia outpitched Greg Maddux and the Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 6-3 to win the National League pennant in six games.

  • 1995 - Jay Buhner, whose error in right field allowed the Indians to tie the game, hits his second home run of the game in the top of the eleventh inning to lead the Mariners to a 5-2 victory in Game Three of the ALCS. Norm Charlton hurls three hitless innings in relief to give the Mariners a 2-1 series lead.

  • 1996 - Powered by a three-homer third inning and eight strong innings from Andy Pettitte, New York won its 34th American League pennant with a 6-4 victory over Baltimore. The Yankees took the ALCS 4-1 and went to the World Series for the first time since 1981.

  • 1998 - The New York Yankees advanced to the World Series for a record 35th time after beating the Cleveland Indians 9-5 to win the AL championship series in six games.
