MLB Wild Card Series opens with statement wins

Original: mlb

The MLB postseason is underway as the Wild Card Series began Tuesday. The Padres beat the Cubs in Game 1 behind a Fernando Tatis Jr. leadoff home run and a strong start from Michael King, while Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler struck out 10 as New York took the opener over the Red Sox. The White Sox and Braves also won their openers. Elsewhere, the Dodgers' title push is being overshadowed by health concerns around Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.

Why now: The MLB playoffs began with Game 1 results across multiple Wild Card Series, drawing heavy attention.
