SEATTLE (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the NL West title for the 10th time in 11 seasons with a 6-2 win in 11 innings over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night.
Evan Phillips (2-4) pitched the 10th inning and Joe Kelly got the final three outs.
There was debate before the season if San Diego might be ready to take over the NL West from the Dodgers after its heavy offseason spending.
After nine scoreless innings of terrific pitching on both sides, each team got a key at-bat from a pinch-hitter in the 10th.
KERSHAW RETURNSClayton Kershaw pitched four innings in his return to the mound for the Dodgers following an extended rest between starts.
