The Dodgers defeat the San Diego Padres 7-2 to clinch another NL West title, but Freddie Freeman rolls his ankle in another potential cause for concern.
The scene was familiar, as the Dodgers poured out of their dugout Thursday night in celebration of a National League West title, one they clinched with a 7-2 defeat of the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium. However, this accomplishment — the franchise’s 22nd division championship, and 11th in the last 12 years — felt a little different. Even though it came on the same night one of their star players got hurt.
There was the recent road trip to Atlanta and Miami, where the Dodgers twice dropped opening games of series before managing to rally for a four-game split with the Braves and a rubber-match defeat of the Marlins . There was last Sunday’s walk-off against the last-place Colorado Rockies, when Ohtani and Betts created the kind of late-game magic the team will likely need to tap into come next month.
