Dodgers lefty Anderson and Diamondbacks rookie Ryne Nelson engaged in an impressive pitching duel for the first six innings.
Mookie Betts hit a three-run homer, Cody Bellinger added a two-run double and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-0 on Monday night behind Tyler Anderson, becoming the first major league team to clinch a playoff spot this season.The Dodgers thought they had secured a playoff berth Sunday after beating the Padres, celebrating with a postgame toast and distributing caps with the postseason logo on them. But then MLB acknowledged Monday it had made a mathematical mistake.
This time, there shouldn't be any confusion. The Dodgers won their 97th game of the season and are 54 games over .500. Anderson and Diamondbacks rookie Ryne Nelson engaged in an impressive pitching duel for the first six innings. The Dodgers broke through against the D-Backs' bullpen in the seventh, loading the bases with no outs. Trayce Thompson snapped the scoreless tie with a sacrifice fly off Kevin Ginkel and then Bellinger pushed the Dodgers ahead 3-0 with a double into the right-center gap.
