CHICAGO (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers have locked down the NL Central title and home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs by scoring twice in the eighth inning of a 3-1 victory over the Cubs in Chicago. The game was tied 1-1 until Lorenzo Cain and Ryan Braun hit RBI singles. Christian Yelich was 3-for-4 with an RBI single, leaving him with a league-leading .326 average but falling one RBI and two home runs shy of winning the Triple Crown.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy belted two-run homers as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Colorado, 5-2 to win their sixth consecutive NL West championship. Walker Buehler added an RBI single and limited the Rockies to one hit over 6 2/3 innings. The Dodgers will host the first two games of their NLDS against Atlanta, and the Rockies will travel to Chicago to take on the Cubs in Tuesday’s wild-card game.

CHICAGO (AP) – Tony Wolters singled home the winning run in the 13th inning to give the Colorado Rockies a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Wild-Card game at Wrigley Field.

AL Wild Card game: N.Y. Yankees 7, Oakland 2
NEW YORK (AP) – The New York Yankees have advanced to the American League Division Series by beating the Oakland Athletics, 7-2 in the wild-card game. Aaron Judge put the Yanks ahead to stay with a two-run homer just two batters into the bottom of the first. Giancarlo Stanton also homered and Luke Voit hit a two-run triple in their postseason debuts.
BALTIMORE (AP) – Baltimore’s Buck Showalter is the latest major league manager to be let go since the season ended, one day after Paul Molitor was let go by Minnesota. Showalter took the Orioles to three playoff appearances during his eight-plus seasons with the team, but the Birds went 47-115 this year and finished 61 games behind the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox. The O’s also fired executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette, who had been in the front office since November 2011.
CHICAGO (AP) – The Chicago Cubs are going to open the 2019 season without infielder Addison Russell after he accepted a 40-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic abuse policy. Russell’s ban includes the 11 regular-season games he missed while on administrative leave, and he can return May 3 against the Cardinals unless the Cubs have a postponement before then. Russell batted .250 with five home runs and 38 RBIs in 130 games this year.
