Walker Buehler, Dodgers Beat Rockies to Win NL West for 6th Year in a Row

The Los Angeles Dodgers are National League West champions for the sixth straight season.

Los Angeles defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-2 in Monday's divisional tiebreaker game at Dodger Stadium behind a brilliant performance from starter Walker Buehler. He allowed just one hit and three walks in 6.2 scoreless innings while striking out three to ensure the Rockies have still never won an NL West crown in team history.

Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy provided much of the offense with two-run homers, and Buehler even helped himself with an RBI single.

What's Next?

The Rockies' season will be on the line Tuesday in the National League Wild Card Game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, while the Dodgers turn their attention to a Division Series showdown with the Atlanta Braves.
