Dodgers gain ground on Rockies in NL West with win over Cardinals

ST. LOUIS — Yasiel Puig has never missed the postseason since making his major league debut in 2013, and he doesn’t plan on ending that run.

Puig homered three times and had a career-high seven RBIs, giving him five homers in two games, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed St. Louis 17-4 Saturday to move ahead of the Cardinals into sole possession of the second National League wild card.

“We want to be back in the playoffs, like every year.” Puig said. “We need to play like a team, like family, hard every day, every pitch, in every situation.
