LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw scattered three hits over seven scoreless innings, Josh Reddick slugged a grand slam in the seventh and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 14-1 on Saturday night to move within a game of clinching their fourth consecutive NL West title.
Their fourth straight victory reduced the Dodgers' magic number to one after San Francisco won at San Diego 9-6 in 10 innings.
Los Angeles is on the brink of becoming the first team to win four straight NL West titles. The last NL club to claim four division titles in a row was the Philadelphia Phillies, who won the NL East from 2007-11.
