MLB Division Series: Home Teams Dominate

Published October 4, 2026 · Updated October 4, 2026 · Fox Sports

The Dodgers, Rays, and Brewers held home field advantage with victories in Division Series Game 1s, while the White Sox secured a win behind Munetaka Murakami's playoff-record home run.

The home teams flexed their muscles in the opening games of the MLB Division Series, with Los Angeles, Tampa Bay, and Milwaukee all securing victories. The Chicago White Sox joined the home team success with a win highlighted by Munetaka Murakami's historic two-run homer in the fourth inning.

Murakami's blast, which traveled 440 feet at 112 mph off the bat, is the hardest-hit ball of the 2023 playoffs. The 26-year-old slugger broke out of his postseason slump with the game-changing home run, helping the White Sox take an early lead they never relinquished in their victory. somethingsdifferent.biz
