Four Game 1s open MLB Division Series
Chicago, Tampa Bay and Los Angeles took 1–0 leads as the best-of-five Division Series began. Milwaukee also won its opener, edging San Diego 3–2.
The MLB Division Series opened Saturday with four Game 1s, setting early leads in three of the four best-of-five matchups. The results: Chicago White Sox 3, Cleveland Guardians 0; Tampa Bay Rays 1, New York Yankees 0; Milwaukee Brewers 3, San Diego Padres 2; and Los Angeles Dodgers over Atlanta Braves.
