While fans knew it would happen eventually, the Dodgers made a seventh consecutive division crown a reality on Thursday evening after defeating the Orioles 7-3 in Baltimore.
Corey Seager went 2-for-5 with two long balls, shouldering the bulk of the offensive workload for the Boys in Blue. Both homers came off old foe Ty Blach, who lasted just 2-1/3 innings in his fifth start of the year. The blasts were Seager’s 15th and 16th of the season.
The series opener also saw rookie Gavin Lux bust out of a previous 1-for-15 slump.
