SAN FRANCISCO -- Justin Turner and his teammates want to win their way back into the playoffs, no help necessary during the season's final weekend.
Turner hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers moved to the brink of securing baseball's final playoff berth by beating the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Friday night.
"We want to win our way into the postseason, we don't want to rely on someone else losing to get us in," Turner said.
The Dodgers remained one game behind NL West-leading Colorado.
