US EditionFreeman Homers Help Dodgers Clinch NL West; Reds Still Eye Wild Card
The Dodgers secured their 12th National League West title in 13 years with 90 wins, powered by Shohei Ohtani's 54 homers and strong pitching from Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
- On Thursday, September 25, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured their 12th division championship in 13 seasons by shutting out the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-0 in Phoenix.
- The Dodgers secured this division title after clinching a postseason berth last week, following a season-long strong performance despite losing a nine-game July lead and falling to second place in August.
- Top performances came from Shohei Ohtani, who tied his personal record by hitting his 54th home run of the season, Freeman, who connected for two home runs and drove in three runs, and Andy Pages, who also launched a homer early in the game.
- Ohtani’s 400-foot homer, which cleared the right-center wall and splashed into Chase Field's swimming pool, gave the Dodgers a 6-0 fourth-inning lead and brought his season RBIs to 101, tying his career best.
- This victory affirms the Dodgers’ sustained dominance in their division and sets them to host the Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium, while the Diamondbacks remain 1.5 games behind the Mets for the final NL wild-card spot.
