MLB Wild Card highlights: Padres blank Braves; Tigers, Royals, Mets also win openers

The MLB postseason is underway, with the wild-card round beginning with four best-of-three series on Tuesday.

Starting things off, the Tigers ended the Astros' 10-game winning streak of winning Game 1s. They went into Houston and defeated the Astros 3-1 to move a win away from reaching the ALDS. Later, the Royals prevailed over the Orioles 1-0 for Kansas City's first ever road shutout in the postseason. 

The Astros-Tigers winner faces AL Central champion Cleveland in a best-of-five Division Series beginning Saturday, and the Orioles-Royals winner plays the AL East champion New York Yankees.

In the NL, the Braves and Mets both advanced to the postseason by splitting their doubleheader on Monday, leaving the Diamondbacks out of luck. The Mets took Game 1 against the Brewers 8-4. 

In the nightcap, the San Diego Padres shut out the Atlanta Braves, 4-0.

The Dodgers and Phillies are awaiting their opponents in the NL Divisional Series that will begin on Saturday. Both of those games will be on FOX.
