SAN FRANCISCO -- Scenarios to extend the Dodgers' season beyond Sunday are a little complicated, but there's a simple solution: Keep winning.
They beat the Giants, 3-1, on Friday night on Justin Turner's two-run homer, but the Rockies won their eighth consecutive game to clinch no worse than a Wild Card berth. The Dodgers trail Colorado in the National League West race by one game with two to play, and their magic number for clinching a Wild Card berth over St. Louis is 1. The Cardinals play the Cubs at Wrigley Field at 10:05 a.m. PT on Saturday, which means the Dodgers may clinch a postseason berth before they take the field or in the early innings, if Chicago wins.
