We were back to a full list in Major League Baseball and that meant a lot of movement in the post-season photo. Perhaps the biggest game was held in Denver, where the first game of a three-game series in the West League was favorable to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

With winger Clayton Kershaw on the hill and striker Yasiel Puig coming back from suspension, Los Angeles defeated the Rockies 4-2 at Coors Field. In doing so, the Dodgers moved to a half-day behind Colorado in the NL West standings.

The Rockies quickly reached Kershaw, scoring two points in the second run. From that moment on, the southpaw settles well, completing six innings before putting it back at the opening. While Kenley Jansen is becoming less available this weekend due to health problems, Caleb Ferguson, Dylan Floro, Ross Stripling, Scott Alexander and Kenta Maeda have combined the last two results.

It was not quite pretty once the depression entered. But that was enough for the weekend of the Dodgers to materialize.

ELIMINATION WATCH

There was no elimination Friday, but the Blue Jays and Marlins each saw their number of elimination drop to one. They failed to join the Orioles, Royals, White Sox, Tigers and Padres as underdogs in the playoffs.

The must-have Saturday game

It's hard to pick a match for everyone on Saturday, but we'll definitely be watching the second of three games between the Astros and the Red Sox at Fenway Park. The Astros will participate in a run of six straight wins after winning the opening match. The potential playoff preview offers two of the most relentless baseball infractions, but this match also has a good sneaky clash with All-Star Charlie Morton who faces Eduardo Rodriguez.
