GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — One game after missing four field goals and an extra point, Mason Crosby booted a 27-yard field goal as time expired to give the Green Bay Packers a 33-30 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The Packers’ 81-yard drive drive was extended after 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman was called for an illegal contact penalty on third-and-15, wiping out a sack of Aaron Rodgers with 43 seconds left. Rodgers threw for 425 yards and two touchdowns as the 3-2-1 Packers dropped the 49ers to 1-5.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 3-2 lead in the National League Championship series after Clayton Kershaw tossed three-hit ball over seven innings of a 5-2 victory over Milwaukee. Kershaw struck out nine, retired his final 13 hitters and blanked the Brewers after Lorenzo Cain’s RBI double opened the scoring in the third inning. Justin Turner was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored for the Dodgers, who will try to wrap up the series in Milwaukee tomorrow night.
HOUSTON (AP) – Boston has a three-games-to-one lead in the American League Championship Series after the Houston Astros had a home run taken away by fan interference in an 8-6 loss to the Red Sox. Jose Altuve appeared to tie the game with a two-run blast in the bottom of the first, but crew chief Joe West ruled that a fan brushed the glove of Mookie Betts while the outfielder was trying to make a leaping catch. Jackie Bradley Jr. smacked a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth, and left fielder Andrew Benintendi made a diving grab with the bases loaded to end it.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Yasiel Puig and Cody Bellinger flexed their muscles. Chris Taylor flashed some leather. Then the Los Angeles Dodgers got a lift from ace Clayton Kershaw out of the bullpen to finish off the Milwaukee Brewers and return to the World Series. Puig broke open a tight game with a three-run homer in the sixth inning, Taylor robbed Christian Yelich with a super catch and the Dodgers took Game 7 of the NL Championship Series with a 5-1 win on Saturday night. It’s off to Fenway Park for a showdown against the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday. Los Angeles hasn’t won the World Series since 1988. The Dodgers and Red Sox have met once before in the World Series, back in 1916 with Boston beating Brooklyn behind a big game from pitcher Babe Ruth.
