Around the league...

• The postseason chase means more to outfielder Max Kepler and second baseman Jorge Polanco as they recall how they got to this series together:

• Shortstop Carlos Correa led the Minnesota Twins to a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros to tie the ALDS at 1-1. In the process, he hit his 63rd playoff RBI, which brings him to third place on the all-time playoff RBI list. To secure third place, Correa surpassed David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, both of whom were his childhood idols.
• A huge grand slam from catcher Mitch Garver lifted the Texas Rangers to an 11-8 win over the Baltimore Orioles as they head home with a 2-0 lead in the ALDS.
• MLB managers address the long-standing issue of being heavily underpaid, and call it an embarrassment to be making the amount that they do.
