After missing out on the NL West division title by a whisker, it was a crucial win for the Dodgers. Going forward, they will now compete with their biggest rivals, the San Francisco Giants, in the National League Division Series on Friday.

Taking their excitement to the dressing room, Chris Taylor started off the celebration by saying, “This is just the start,” and then it was raining champagne for the winners.
