The Milwaukee Brewers saw everything come together for them to essentially run away with the NL Central, winning 95 games which were one short of their franchise record of 96 wins in 2011. They ultimately ran into the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves in the NLDS, where they lost in four games.
After the Houston Astros won Game 5, the World Series returned to Houston for at least one more game. Max Fried shut down the Houston bats and the Braves offense came alive to three homers on their way to a 7-0 clinching game.
After another spectacular season from the Chicago White Sox, they fell to the Houston Astros in the ALDS.
Far too often, surrendering a first-inning grand slam is a death sentence. However, that wasn’t the case for the Houston Astros, who allowed the Atlanta Braves to put up a four-spot in the first inning of Game 5 before mounting a comeback.
The Houston Astros looked to be on their way to tying the World Series up at two games a piece. But it’s baseball, and everything can change in the blink of an eye. Or the stroke of a bat in a hitter’s hands. There were two huge swings that came in the seventh inning with the Atlanta Braves trailing. They would come back in the game to take a 3-1 series lead. They are not granted a chance to clinch in front of the Braves fans tonight in Game 5.
Once a team vying a World Series title every year, the Rangers have been stuck teetering between trying to compete and embracing a rebuild. This year was a step in the right direction despite winning just 60 games and missing the playoffs.
The Atlanta Braves traveled home for Game 3 of the World Series on Friday and managed to no-hit the Houston Astros through 7.1 innings.
In a surprise that was foreseen by no one, the new manager of the San Diego Padres is Bob Melvin.
All in all, 2021 offered optimism for the Boston Red Sox. Very few expected them to be competitive with the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, or Toronto Blue Jays. Even fewer imagined Boston would find itself in the ALCS against the Houston Astros.
The San Francisco Giants came into the season with below-average expectations. With the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres coming into the year as World Series favorites, no one thought the Giants would be anything special.
Rookie outfielder Jose Siri fueled a second-inning scoring parade against the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 of the World Series. This early surge gave the Houston Astros more than enough runs needed for a comfortable lead and eventual win, tying the series at one apiece.
The Pittsburgh Pirates finished 2021 with a 61-101 record. It was their third straight losing season as the rebuild continued.
