MLB Playoffs (National League Divisional Playoff Series): Cards Handcuff Bucs' Bats, Force Game Five; Dodgers Finish Off Braves, Advance To First NLCS Since '09

Both National League divisional playoff series continued on Monday.

At Pittsburgh:

Pitcher Michael Wacha took a no-hitter into the eighth inning as he and relief pitching held the Pittsburgh Pirates to one base hit in the St. Louis Cardinals' 2-1 game-four road win, forcing the series back to St. Louis for the fifth and deciding game, which would be played on Wednesday.

At Los Angeles:

Juan Uribe hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Los Angeles Dodgers came back to overcome the visiting Atlanta Braves 4-3 and win their divisional playoff series three games to one.  The Dodgers advanced to their first National League Championship Series since 2009.
