MLB
Washington Nationals win at St. Louis Cardinals 3-runs-1
New York Yankees win at Houston Astros 7-runs-nil

Ten Straight:
With the Washington and New York wins Saturday, road teams extend their best-of-7 MLB/NBA/NHL game winning streak to double digits. The last home team to win a best-of-7 playoff game was the NHL Blues in St. Louis, against the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup Finals on Monday 03 June 2019.

As Goes Game 2:
Trailing a best-of-7 MLB playoff series 1-game-nil, the Houston Astros have a 2-2 series record and a 2-2 Game 2 record - in all four series, the Game 2 outcome matched the series outcome for Houston.

21 And Done:
With their run in the eighth inning of 2019 National League Championship Series Game 2, the St. Louis Cardinals end their best-of-7 MLB playoff game scoreless streak at 21 innings, dating back to the last game of the 2014 NLCS.

Home Drought:
The Cardinals in St. Louis in the 2019 National League Championship Series Games 1-2 tallied only one run. They thus become only the fifth team to score but a single run in Games 1-2 at home in a best-of-7 MLB playoff series, and the first to do so in a best-of-7 League Championship Series (MLB Semifinals). The good news for the Cardinals: Of the first four teams to display such a home-field power outage, two of the four rallied to win their series.
