The Divisional Series went the distance before it all was said and done.
The New York Yankees and the San Diego Padres went at it tooth-and-nail and when it was over at Petco Park, the winner was the Yankees.
They put away San Diego 3-1 to cinch the series and won the right to move onto the League Championship Series.
For his fine play, even in a losing effort, San Diego second baseman Teagan Golunski was given the series Most Valuable Player Award. He hit .423, scored 3 runs and batted in 5 to win the honor.
“It’s nice that someone noticed my numbers, but I’d trade it in a heartbeat for a win,” he said.
The League Championship Series matchups and schedule will be announced after the Divisional Series finishes.
