A crowd of Dodgers awaited Charlie Culberson at the plate. A wave of relievers trailed him as he rounded third base toward home, having launched the game-winning home run that delivered the Dodgers to a fourth consecutive division title Sunday in a 4-3 victory in 10 innings over the Rockies.
The hit ended the final game of Vin Scully’s career at Chavez Ravine in fitting fashion: A walk-off homer that sent the Dodgers (90-66) to the playoffs.
No player could steal the spotlight from Scully, but Culberson and Corey Seager gave it a try.
