The Dodgers beat the Giants in an impressive come-from-behind victory considering starter Tyler Glasnow gave up four runs.

Over the last few weeks, the Dodgers’ starters have delivered incredible performances, keeping the team in games with long, extended outings. On Saturday, however, it was the bullpen that delivered for the Dodgers.

On Friday, Los Angeles clinched a spot in the National League Wild Card, guaranteeing the team’s involvement in the playoffs.

They still have the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Seattle Mariners left on the schedule after Sunday’s series closer against the Giants.

Both stops will be on the road. The Dodgers will either need to win three out of the six games left or hope that the Padres drop games to the Milwaukee Brewers or Arizona.
