Dodgers Handle Giants, Force Divisional Playoff with Rockies

A sixth consecutive division title is still indeed within the grasp of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

After all the dust settled on the 162nd game of the regular season on Sunday, the Dodgers handed the Giants a 15-0 pummeling in San Francisco, while the Rockies crushed the Nationals 12-0 in Denver, forcing a one-game playoff in Los Angeles on Monday to determine the eventual 2018 NL West champions.

The Dodgers jumped out to an early two-run lead in the first inning and two innings later tacked on seven more runs to put the game out of reach early.
