The old record for an extra-inning game in the playoffs was 5:51- the Nationals and Giants blew right past that one... they went six hours, 23 minutes in length. For innings played, it matched the 18-inning Game 4 of the 2005 NL Division Series, when Houston beat Atlanta, 7-6.
If it hadn't been for Tanner Roark grooving a ball to Brandon Belt, they might still be at it.
The Giants are one win away from knocking off a pre-playoff favorite for the fall classic. The Reds were a win away once before in 2012, but gave up three straight to the Giants. And, at the same time, the Giants post-season win streak is now at a record ten games...

OSG Baseball: 2 Games, 38 Innings... Long Distance Runaround...
((HT: MLB.com))
Miami, the Mets, Texas, and Toronto played a lot of baseball this afternoon...
One game went 20 innings and the other went only 18...
The details in the National League Game...
Adeiny Hechavarria singled home Placido Polanco in the 20th for Miami's first run since the fourth-inning. That's 16 innings (or two home games) of not scoring until you score. The game itself went 6-hours and 25-minutes and was the longest game ever in the short history of Citi Field. Kevin Slowey threw seven shutout innings in relief. The Mets left 22 on base and didn't score after the second innings (that's two full games of not scoring).
It was Hechevarria's first major league game-winning hit...
16 pitchers were involved in 140 at-bats. The Marlins threw 294 pitches and the Mets threw 267.
The Marlins are, actually, now 17-44...
Here's your postgame...

In the American League, Toronto's closer Casey Janssen is, usually, a slam dunk. Especially with a two-run lead in the ninth inning... but not today. Janssen gave up the game-tying runs in the top of the ninth and the game went for a while...
Rajai Davis hit the game-winning single in the longest game (innings-wise) in Jays history- winning 4-3 in only 18...
Toronto used nine pitchers while the Rangers used only five, but Ross Wolf went 6-and-two-thirds in relief for the Rangers and gave up the single...
