Dodgers clinch playoff berth as NL division races down to wire

Manny Machado belted a run-scoring triple in the eighth inning to propel the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 10-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants Saturday and into the Major League Baseball playoffs. The victory assures the Dodgers of at least a wild card berth, and they could still claim a sixth straight National League West division title. The victory, combined with a Colorado Rockies loss, puts the two teams in a tie for the division title.
