The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the National League West division crown on Thursday night with their 7-2 win over the rival San Diego Padres. Entering their series with San Diego, Los Angeles was only up three games, making it the most crucial series of the season.
After dropping the opener to the Padres, some fear started to creep in about the Dodgers losing the division to their rivals. But the team battled back to grab the final two games of the series and ultimately clinch their 11th division title in the last 12 seasons.
It was a total team effort but the Dodgers were led by superstar Shohei Ohtani.
