What happened: Garrett Mitchell hit a home run off Blake Snell, knocking the starting pitcher out of NLCS Game 3.

Why it matters: Mitchell's blast compounded an already difficult postseason outing for Snell after he surrendered a home run on his very first pitch of the night. The early hook leaves the bullpen to absorb the rest of the championship series contest.

What to watch: Relief pitchers will handle the remaining frames of NLCS Game 3.
