The Dodgers are all set to clinch the NL West title for a third straight year, but the Giants delay their party for at least a day as pinch-hitter Alejandro De Aza drives in the winning run with a 12th-inning sacrifice fly. The 3 – 2 loss is the fourth in a row for Los Angeles, which fails to take advantage of the presence of ace Zack Greinke on the mound. The Dodgers’ magic number remains at 2 with 6 games left to play.

In a case of how the mighty have fallen, the Dodgers, coming off an appearance in the World Series and winners of five straight division titles, enter today’s game against the Marlins, who have just gone through an off-season fire sale, with an identically bad record of 16-26. Worse, the Dodgers have just lost six straight against the two worst teams in the National League, the Marlins and the Reds. They manage to stop the bleeding with a 7 – 0 win, thanks to 5 RBIs from Justin Turner in just his third game back after missing six weeks due to an injury sustained at the end of spring training, and 8 solid innings by Kenta Maeda. While they may look like they are already out of the postseason race given how much ground they have lost, they will turn things around to win the division again and return to the World Series.
