LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Dodgers need to win the week to catch NL West-leading San Francisco, and even that might not be enough.
The defending World Series champions opened their final homestand of the regular season with a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sept. 28. The Giants beat Arizona 6-4, leaving the Dodgers two games back with five to play. Los Angeles needs to win out and hope the Giants lose three in order to claim a ninth straight NL West crown.
