October 14, 2022 was highlighted by Cleveland beating the Yankees in a 10-inning thriller, as Oscar Gonzalez collected his second career postseason go-ahead hit in extras, putting him behind David Ortiz (3) all time. San Diego’s bullpen again dominated to give the Padres the 2-1 series lead over the Dodgers. The great atmosphere at Citizens Bank Park gave the Phillies plenty of energy to destroy Atlanta 9-1. Austin Reeves hit a ridiculous circus shot with an and-1 in the Lakers’ loss to the Kings. Also, 1979 Cy Young winner RP Bruce Sutter died at 69.
