LOS ANGELES -- Freddie Freeman wore a walking boot and a smile. The moment that all but solidified another National League West title and first-round bye for the Los Angeles Dodgers -- a seventh-inning two-run single from Mookie Betts, further extending Thursday's lead -- was followed by Freeman rolling his right ankle, a frightening development for a key player at the most important time of year.

But X-rays revealed no structural damage. Freeman is expected to be just fine for the playoffs.
