What happened: Manny Machado addressed his potential game-tying home run that was robbed in the eighth inning. "It's unfortunate, man. I should have hit it harder," he said of the play.

Why it matters: The catch preserved a narrow lead for Milwaukee in Game 4 of the NLDS. Machado previously impacted the series defensively, but this late-inning near-miss thwarted a pivotal rally.

What to watch: The teams continue the NLDS based on the Game 4 result.
