NL West Watch: Dodgers continue push with win over D'backs

LOS ANGELES -- Clayton Kershaw hates being removed from any game. As Dodgers manager Don Mattingly found out, Kershaw really hates getting yanked while he trails by three runs in the middle of a pennant race.

Right after Kershaw aired his feelings to Mattingly during a very public dugout confrontation, his teammates put together a comeback that made him a winner.

Chris Heisey hit a grand slam during the Dodgers' six-run fifth inning, and Los Angeles trimmed its magic number to four for clinching the NL West crown with a 6-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday.
