We saw some historic postseason baseball yesterday:
This was the 82nd time in Dodgers postseason history that they trailed by 3+ runs in the 8th inning or later

It's the first time they won such a game
The Astros' 7 runs with 2 outs in the 9th inning were tied for the 2nd-most runs with 2 out in a postseason inning, behind only the Dodgers' 10 2-out runs in the 1st of 2020 NLCS Game 3

No team had ever scored more than 4 runs with 2 outs in the 9th or later in a PS inning
Will we see more history today?
