1, as in the magic number for the Los Angeles Dodgers is now just one. Last night the Dodgers won 12-4 over the San Diego Padres. Nomar Garciaparra helped the team get off to a good start by hitting a home-run for the second straight game, he was 2-3 with 2 rbi and 2 runs scored. Manny Ramirez also went deep, it was his 17th home-run since joining the club. Rookie Clayton Kershaw pitched well enough to move his record to 5-5. He pitched 5.2 innings with 7 strikeouts, 2 walks, and 2 ER. The Dodgers’ victory combined with Arizona’s 4-2 loss at St. Louis gave Los Angeles a four-game lead over the Diamondbacks with four games remaining.
The Dodgers can clinch their fifth postseason berth since 1988 on Thursday afternoon if the Diamondbacks lose at St. Louis, or they win Thursday night when they face the Padres in their final home game of the regular season.
One is also the amount of the games the Washington Nationals would need to lose to hit 1oo. They lost their 99th game last night to the Florida Marlins 9-4. The Seattle Mariners already beat them to the punch by losing last night to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California de los Estados Unidos 5-6.
