Dodgers clinch NL's top seed, West title with win over A's - Sportsnet.ca

Los Angeles Dodgers

“To fast forward a couple months and be crowned NL West champs is a credit to everyone. It should never be taken for granted,” Roberts said. “Truth be told a lot of guys didn’t know we could clinch. We were responsible but I let it know that it has to be appreciated.” Instead of a wild celebration on the mound after Jake McGee struck out Sean Murphy for the final out, players briskly walked out of the dugout to celebrate with teammates. Everyone grabbed a division-clinching shirt and cap before heading to the mound for a group photo.

Max Muncy, Chris Taylor and AJ Pollock also went deep for Los Angeles, which leads the majors with 104 home runs. Robbie Grossman homered for Oakland, which clinched its first AL West crown in seven years on Monday during a day off. The Athletics, in the post-season for the third straight year, currently are the AL’s No. 3 seed.Seager tied it at 1 in the first with an RBI single and then led off the fifth with a drive to centre off T.J. McFarland to extend LA’s lead to 6-2.

Montas, who allowed only four home runs in his first seven starts, has given up six in his past three. The right-hander went four innings and yielded five runs on seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts.
