Amid NL West Celebration, Kenley Jansen Says Dodgers Are ‘Desperate’ For World Series Ring

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been here before. On Friday night they celebrated a fifth consecutive National League West title. Prior to their 2013-2017 run, the team had never won the division more than three times in a row.

They’re the first to win five consecutive division titles since the Philadelphia Phillies sat atop the NL East from 2007-2011. But whereas the Phillies won the World Series in 2008, the Dodgers’ dominance in the NL West has not yielded the same result.

Nonetheless, the team reveled in their accomplishment, even if it came later than expected.
