Major League Baseball (MLB) began its most exciting stage of the year: the 2022 MLB Playoffs already have all their teams playing and their race to reach the World Series goal has officially begun.
In one of the series of divisional roundthe news was not long in coming: First, the Braves had to release one of their best pitchers from the bullpen, with one of the worst injuries in the game, while the Phillies revalidated their offense with a record.
On the other hand, in Seattle they can rejoice. First, because the Mariners will bring a playoff game back to the city for the first time in more than two decades. But also because they have a talent like Julio Rodríguez, capable of making incredible records.
Highlights of the day
Tom Brady’s challenge to Aaron Judge
Probably the best out-of-context situation of the week will be NFL legend Tom Brady challenging Aaron Judge to play football at the highest level. The crazy? The Yankees star played this sport in high school!
But that ball didn’t go away!

In a moment more typical of little league than this level, and one that could have been avoided with a regulation fence, Josh Donaldson was sure he had blown the fence. However, they gave him out at first base.
San Diego Padres cut their losing streak!
After many years sunk in the basement of the division, with negative records and multiple disappointments when they sporadically managed to qualify for the Playoffs, the Padres had a great time against the Dodgers for the first time in 16 years.
