Andy Pages is out of the Dodgers starting lineup for Game 5 -- the first time he hasn't started this month -- with Kiké starting in CF and Alex Call in LF

via @stathead.com, Pages' .215 OPS is by far the lowest of any player ever with at least 50 plate appearances in a single postseason

the Blue Jays battled valiantly for 18 innings, but missed scoring opportunities, missed pitch locations, and missing four of their best players by the end of game cost them badly

new for Yahoo Sports, on the frustrated losing end of an October classic:

ALCS Game 2 pitching match-up is so fun

wild to think Logan Gilbert has pitched twice since Trey Yesavage carved up the Yankees 8 days ago

we’re about to find out!
