The Los Angeles Dodgers have clinched the NL West and they’ve stopped their 5-game losing streak by shutting out the Colorado Rockies, 5-0 on Saturday night.

“We were some of those people who didn’t think it came soon enough,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. “We were on the brink last Sunday against Pittsburgh.”

The Dodgers had a five-run seventh made possible by a RBI singles from Ronnie Belliard and a RBI double by Mark Loretta. 21-year-old lefty Clayton Kershaw also deserves a lot of credit for the win after he threw for six scoreless innings.
