The Dodgers got help when the Padres beat the Giants, then took care of their own business with an 8-3 win over the Brewers as Julio Urías got his 20th victory.
The San Francisco Giants lost to the San Diego Padres, missing a chance to capture the NL West title. The Dodgers need to win Saturday to stay in the race.They stayed in the hunt with a breezy 8-3 win to set up a dramatic Sunday. A victory and a Giants loss and the clubs play a tiebreaking Game 163 at Oracle Park on Monday. A loss or a Giants win and the Giants officially end the Dodgers’ reign. Both games — as all across major league baseball tomorrow — start at 12:10 p.m. Pacific time.
For Turner, it was his 27th home run, tying a career high he set in 2016 and 2019. For Burnes, it was the low point in a short workday.The Dodgers caught a break when Brewers manager Craig Counsell, whose team has already claimed the NL Central crown, removed Burnes after two innings. The right-hander exited with a league-leading 2.43 earned-run average, just ahead of Max Scherzer’s 2.46. Burnes, as a result, clinched the ERA title unless the Dodgers force a Game 163, which Scherzer would start.
The Giants’ result had a direct impact on Urías’s usage. If the Giants won, his outing likely would have been cut short to keep him fresher for a possible relief appearance in Wednesday’s wild-card game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Giants’ loss triggered a normal workload as Urías sought to become the Dodgers’ first 20-game winner since Clayton Kershaw.Urías responded with a dominant outing to conclude his breakout season.
