Freddie Freeman homered twice, Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled to their 12th National League West title in 13 seasons with an 8-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday afternoon in Phoenix.
The Dodgers clinched home-field advantage for a best-of-three wild-card series that opens Tuesday. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8) allowed four hits and two walks in six innings to drop his ERA to 2.49, second best in the National League.
Ohtani's two-run homer in the fourth was his 54th, giving him 108 in his first two seasons with the Dodgers. He is one short of Alex Rodriguez (Texas Rangers, 2001-02) for the second most by a player in his first two seasons with an organization. Babe Ruth had 113 for the New York Yankees in 1920-21.
