This Day In Dodgers History: 2013 NL West Title Clinched Against Diamondbacks, Celebration In Chase Field Pool Ensues

On Sept. 19, 2013, the Los Angeles Dodgers came from behind to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 7-6, to clinch the National League West at Chase Field. The division title was the franchise’s 12th at the time, and Sept. 19 was the earliest calendar date Los Angeles had ever clinched.

The 2019 Dodgers bested that mark by wrapping up the division on Sept. 10.

During the back-and-forth affair in 2013, Hanley Ramirez hit a three-run home run in the third, but the Diamondbacks responded with six runs in the bottom half of the inning. The Dodgers pulled to within a run of the Diamondbacks in the sixth inning, then tied it in the seventh behind Ramirez’s second home run of the game.
