context_page_description: The 2013 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series to determine the baseball teams to participate in the 2013 National League Championship Series. The three divisional winners and a fourth team — the winner of a one-game Wild Card playoff — played in two series. TBS carried most of the games, with some on MLB Network.
  These matchups were:
  St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
  Atlanta Braves vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
  The restriction on teams from the same division meeting in the Division Series was removed prior to the 2012 season. Therefore, the Cardinals and Pirates, both from the Central Division, were able to meet in the Division Series. Under the format used from 1998-2011, St. Louis would have faced Los Angeles in one Division Series, and Atlanta would have faced Pittsburgh in the other.
  This was the first postseason meeting between the current National League Central division rivals St. Louis and Pittsburgh. The Pirates made their first postseason appearance since 1992, and their first appearance in the Division Series in franchise history.
  This was the second postseason meeting between the Dodgers and Braves.

  Game 3 featured two rookies, Hyun-Jin Ryu of the Dodgers and Julio Teherán for the Braves, starting a playoff game for the first time since 2007 and was an offensive explosion from both teams in the early innings. In the top of the first, Justin Upton double with one out and scored on Evan Gattis's single. After a walk, Gattis scored on Chris Johnson's single. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the second inning on two singles and a walk before Hyun-jin Ryu's sacrifice fly scored a run, then Carl Crawford's three-run home run put them up 4–2. The Braves loaded the bases in the third on three straight leadoff singles before Brian McCann's groundout and Johnson's fielder's choice scored a run each to tie the game. In the bottom of the inning, Hanley Ramírez hit a leadoff double then scored on Adrián González's single. Two outs later, Skip Schumaker's RBI single made it 6–4 Dodgers and knock Teheran out of the game. Next inning, Carl Crawford reached on an error, then scored on Ramirez's triple off Alex Wood. After González struck out, Ramirez scored on Yasiel Puig's single before Juan Uribe's home run made it 10–4, all four runs unearned. In the eighth, Ramirez hit an RBI single with two on and two outs off Jordan Walden, who was relieved by Luis Avilan. González and Puig then hit back-to-back RBI singles to make it 13–4. In the ninth, Jason Heyward's two-run home run off Paco Rodriguez made it 13–6 Dodgers. After allowing a walk and single, Rodriguez was relieved by Kenley Jansen, who struck out Brian McCann to end the game and give the Dodgers a 2–1 series lead. Hanley Ramirez continued his torrid NLDS by hitting two more extra base hits, tying a Dodgers franchise record for extra-base hits in a playoff series set by Steve Garvey and Duke Snider.
  Additionally, the 13 runs scored was a Dodgers record for a playoff game.
  At the age of 35 years, Chris Capuano picked up his first career post-season victory.
