The National League will crown a new champion as the defending pennant-winning Dodgers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Columbus Lightning, who win their first playoff series since the move from Miami and the franchise's first since 2003 when they won the World Series as the Marlins. Trent Deveaux came up big again with a 2-run homer to tie the game in the 5th before Cristhian Rodriguez provided the winning run with an RBI single later in the inning. Meanwhile the Padres have forced a deciding Game 5 thanks to great pitching from Kolby Allard and an unfortunate turn of events for the Cardinals. Their starter Yordy Richard, who was 17-2, 2.49 this year, had to leave in the 6th with a sore shoulder, and San Diego immediately capitalized on his absence by scoring three times against reliever Seth Elledge.
