National League playoff picture needs two tiebreaker games

That's all Milwaukee needed for a 3-1 victory over the Cubs, who collected just 3 hits on the afternoon, including a monster home run by Anthony Rizzo in the fifth inning.

The tiebreakers are considered game No. 163 of the regular season, meaning Yelich's stats - and those of Arenado and Baez - from Monday's game will count in the totals.

Walker Buehler was set to start for the Dodgers (91-71) as the defending NL champions try for a sixth straight West title. Manny Machado has 12 hits and is batting.300 over his past 10 games for Los Angeles.

Chris Taylor drew a walk from Andrew Suarez (7-13) to get the Dodgers going Sunday, Justin Turner followed with an RBI double and the rout was on.

The pending free agent has responded with seven hits in 21 at-bats this week, with two doubles and a home run. Manager Dave Roberts waved to hundreds of fans in the outfield bleachers.

JT Chargois and Julio Urias finished up with a hitless inning apiece, completing the Dodgers' 11th shutout of the season, their third against the Giants. The Dodgers offense was impressive in their 15-0 win over the Giants, scoring seven runs via timely hits here and there before finally hitting their first home run of the game. The lefty retired the first 10 batters in order before Joe Panik's single in the fourth. With six straight postseason's under the team's belt, the Los Angeles Dodgers now own the third-longest postseason streak in Major League Baseball history.

Both Colorado and Los Angeles absolutely put on a show offensive against their respective opponents on Sunday.

Muncy's pinch-hit homer gave him 34 for the season and the drive splashed into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field arcade. Los Angeles has allowed just 1.7 runs per game in Buehler's starts this season.

The Dodgers out-hit the Giants 16-2.
