After pulling even with the Colorado Rockies atop the National League West standings on Saturday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers in some essence controlled their own destiny when it came to a potential division championship.
With their second consecutive victory over the San Francisco Giants, the Dodgers at minimum guaranteed themselves a spot in the NL Wild Card Game on Tuesday. However, they went into Sunday with a chance to claim a sixth straight NL West championship.
While Los Angeles did their part in a rout of the Giants, the Rockies held suit against the Washington Nationals.
