The Cardinals had a big inning, but the Dodgers rode multiple big innings and big dongs in their 17-4 victory. The win give the Dodgers the opportunity to sweep a four-game series tomorrow and puts the Dodgers in possession of the second wild card spot in the NL. It also moves the Dodgers into a tie with the Rockies atop the NL West, with Colorado set to play later tonight.

The Dodgers jumped on Cardinal starter John Gant early. Justin Turner lined a one-out single to center, and Manny Machado broke out his 35th dong of the season to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead.
