Both Championship Series of the 2025 MLB playoffs were on tap Thursday. The Toronto Blue Jays evened up the series in Game 4 of the ALCS after an 8-2 win over the Seattle Mariners, while the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ pitching continued to dominate, holding the Milwaukee Brewers to just one run offensively for the third straight game to take a 3-0 lead in the NLCS.
Here are key takeaways from Thursday’s games:
Jackson Chourio removed after injury in seventh inning
Chourio left Game 3 with what appeared to be a leg-associated injury after a swing in his fourth at-bat of the game. He hobbled himself off the field straight into the dugout, needing to be replaced by Blake Perkins for the remainder of the game.
The Brewers have not yet confirmed the severity of the injury, but Chourio is optimistic. However, he has dealt with hamstring issues this season, including being removed in Game 1 of the NLDS.
