As the Dodgers packed Thursday for their final trip of the regular season, they took everything they would need with them.
Bats and gloves, of course. Sweatshirts for the cool evenings in Colorado.
And champagne. Lots of champagne, all of which should be consumed or sprayed well before the Dodgers return home next week.
Their magic number is so low that the Dodgers can talk about clinching the National League West without offending the baseball gods. The Dodgers beat Arizona on Thursday, 6-3, with Chris Heisey hitting a grand slam and five relievers combining to one-hit the Diamondbacks over the final four innings.
