The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their fifth consecutive NL West division title and 13th in 14 seasons with an 8-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, highlighted by Kyle Tucker’s four hits, including a first-inning home run. Already guaranteed their 14th straight postseason appearance, the Dodgers are chasing the top NL seed, trailing Milwaukee. Tucker nearly hit for the cycle, contributing three RBIs, while Justin Wrobleski and Blake Treinen combined to retire the first 11 batters. Landon Knack earned his first big league win since last year, and Miguel Rojas added a ninth-inning homer. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced reliever Edwin Díaz will return from injury this weekend. The Dodgers face the San Francisco Giants next, while the Reds play the Chicago Cubs.
