Takeaways, best moments and plays from Friday's postseason games

Welcome to the 2021 MLB playoffs! The journey to the World Series is here and Friday features a quadruple-header of division series games:

Apparently, Houston doesn’t have a problem. Chicago was 85-10 (.895) with a multi-run lead this regular season, best in the AL.

However, the Astros’ five-run seventh inning lifted them over the White Sox for a commanding 2-0 series lead.

Sure, Milwaukee is home to the reigning NBA champs, but it sure looked like a baseball town on Friday.

Rowdy Tellez got the party started with his two-run homer in the seventh inning. Good news for Brewers’ fans: Milwaukee finished 9-1 in games that Tellez hit a homer during the regular season, and the Brewers followed that trend against the Atlanta Braves on Friday.

Fresh off of Nelson Cruz and Randy Arozarena’s Game 1 heroics, the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays met back at the “Trop” on Friday. After being shutout in their prior meeting, the Boston Red Sox made sure to get on the board in the first inning. The Tampa Bay Rays attempted to steal their thunder as Jordan Luplow fired back with a first-inning grand slam.

However, Tampa Bay seemed to run out of fuel after the first inning as the team only scored once more for the remainder of the game, while Boston went on to add 12 more runs to its final score.

Up next: Game 1 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants.

Dodgers-Giants could be the most epic division series ever. How many Fridays do you get to binge watch Lucas Giolito, Corbin Burnes, Charlie Morton and Walker Buehler pitching?

Here are some of the top moments from Friday’s games:

San Francisco didn’t waste any time getting on the board.
