SAN FRANCISCO–AT&T Park won’t host playoff baseball this season.
That much was decided weeks ago.
But on the penultimate day of the regular season, the ballpark at China Basin served as a playoff atmosphere and the Giants and Dodgers both arrived armed with a win-or-go-home mentality to the field.
Thanks to a go-ahead two-out RBI triple from Manny Machado in the top of the eighth and a four-run ninth, it was the Dodgers who claimed a 10-6 victory over the Giants.
With a victory Saturday, the Dodgers clinched a playoff berth and celebrated in front of thousands of fans who turned the stadium into the Chavez Ravine of Northern California.
