LOS ANGELES -- After 67 years, Los Angeles wasnt ready to say goodbye to Vin Scully.With the Colorado Rockies holding a 3-2 lead with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning,?Corey Seager, the?Los Angeles Dodgers 22-year-old shortstop, hit a home run to right field to tie the game and extend the final home game for the 88-year-old announcer one more inning.Sunday was the final game Scully will broadcast from Dodger Stadium as he nears the end of a 67-year career that began in 1950, when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, and spanned nearly seven decades.And wouldnt you know wed go extra innings, Scully said after Seagers home run. Of course, you didnt have anything better to do, anyway.With two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning, Charlie Culberson homered on a fly ball to left field to give the Dodgers a 4-3 victory and their fourth straight National League West title, a franchise first, in Scullys final game behind the microphone at Dodger Stadium.The Dodgers have clinched the division, Scully said on the call. And will celebrate on schedule.It was a storybook moment in a storybook career for Scully, who was given a standing ovation after the game from the crowd and the players, who took off their championship hats and waved them at a smiling Scully up in the broadcast booth.Vin, we love, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on the field after the game as he looked up at Scully. This is for you, my friend.Scully will retire after finishing a three-game series in San Francisco next weekend.During Sundays game, Dodgers players tipped their helmets toward Scully before stepping into the batters box -- an idea that was hatched by Adrian Gonzalez and Justin Turner while the two were texting the night before the game.After Roberts on-field interview, Scully got on the microphone and addressed the crowd from the press box named after him.Im terribly embarrassed, he said, standing up from his chair with his wife, Sandra, seated behind him. I was hoping the team would win the game 10 to nothing, and there would be no tension, and it would be a nice, easy day because I have a very, very small, modest contribution on my last day. I have always felt you folks in the stands have been far, far more important to me. You have given me enthusiasm. You have given me young at heart.Believe me when I tell you Ive needed you far more than youve needed me. Anyway, I wanted to try and express my appreciation to all the players. God bless them, and to all you folks at the ballpark. Its a very, very modest thing, but I sang this for my wife -- it was a loving gesture. You know the song, the Wind Beneath My Wings, and thats what you are. You are the wind beneath the teams wings, and you are the wind beneath my wings. I know its modest, I know its an amateur, but do you mind listening?With that, Scully sat down as the players on the field and the crowd erupted in applause while a recording of Scully singing Wind Beneath My Wings played at Dodger Stadium.When the song had finished, the players began jumping and celebrating their win in the division on the field before heading to the clubhouse. Meanwhile, Scully said goodbye to his friends in the broadcast booth before exiting the Vin Scully Press Box for the final time.Thank you, Scully said as he walked out. Thank you so very much.Norman Powell Jersey . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now.

Louis Cardinals. Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness.ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals bats have picked a bad time to go cold.Jon Lester pitched eight dominant innings and the Chicago Cubs beat St. Louis 7-0 on Wednesday to clinch a playoff berth.Lester gave up three hits, and the Cardinals totaled only 11 while dropping two of three in the series.Weve got to figure out ways to grind through at-bats. I think thats one of our priorities right now, just to figure out how to get those tough-fought at-bats from top to bottom, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Thats the type of team we can be and then we can jump up and surprise some people with the long ball.All five of the Cardinals runs in the series came on homers.Brandon Moss tipped his cap to Lester.Today was one of those days were he had both (pitches) working and he wasnt missing over the middle and he was even throwing some curveballs and changeups to keep you off of everything, Moss said.Anthony Rizzo hit a pair of home runs as the Cubs improved their major league-best record to 93-52 and lowered their magic number to one for clinching their first NL Central title since 2008. They can wrap up the division crown Thursday night with a win at home over Milwaukee or a St. Louis loss in San Francisco.Chicago secured at least a wild card because the four-game series between the Cardinals and Giants makes it impossible for both to catch the Cubs in the standings.The Cardinals remained a half-game behind the New York Mets and one game back of the Giants for the two NL wild cards.St. Louis starter Carlos Martinez (14-8) gave up four runs and eight hits in six innings.Martinez started off strong, striking out the side in the first and four of the first six batters he faced. Five of his nine strikeouts came on called third strikes. He entered the game having allowed just 12 homers this season and his home run per nine innings average of 0.63 was second in the National League to the Mets Noah Syndergaard (0.52).He came out of the gates really as good as weve seen him, Matheny said. Just had a real good rhythm and thought he had a real good feel for hhis pitches.dddddddddddd They just kind of grinded a couple of at-bats against him and made him pay.Lester (17-4) allowed four base runners, none of which got past first. Cubs catcher David Ross threw out two Cardinals trying to steal second and Lester faced just two batters over the minimum.Rizzos two-run homer in the ninth gave him 31 homers and 101 RBI on the season. He is the second Cubs left-handed hitter in franchise history to post multiple 30 home run and 100 RBI seasons (Billy Williams did it in 1965, 1970 and 1972).Billy Williams, his numbers speak for himself and hes done it so many years, so its a really good feeling, Rizzo said.Ross two-run homer in the fifth was just third by a right-handed batter against Martinez, who had his four winning decisions streak snapped.The loss dropped the Cardinals home record to 33-41, assuring St. Louis of its first losing record at home since 1999 when it played in Busch Stadium II.We want to do well here and I think trying to right the ship here were putting a little too much pressure on us, Moss said. But when we go on the road we play a little more loose, a little more relaxed and hopefully that continues.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: RHP Michael Wacha (right shoulder inflammation) was activated from the disabled list and will pitch out of the bullpen. ...
