What happened: New York carried a 1-0 Wild Card Series lead into the home date in the Bronx. The crowd erupted as the drive left the yard.

Why it matters: Insurance runs ease bullpen decisions in a short series. The same Bellinger who hit a three-run homer Sept. 12 added to an October lead at home.

What to watch: New York turns to the next Wild Card matchup in the Bronx with the series in hand.
