In what can be described as a Cinderella-like season, the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the National League West Championship in a 7-6 victory over division competitors, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Starting off the season with the NL’s highest payroll of $230 million, expectations for the Dodgers to win and make the playoffs were high. However, due to the team’s dramatically slow start, the Dodgers were sitting in last place at 30-42 just three months ago, leaving Manager Don Mattingly in the hot seat to keep his job.
The Dodgers’ season would take a swing towards the fence with phenom, Yasiel Puig taking bat in the line-up. Giving the team the spark it needed, Puig and his teammates would carry momentum into the All-Star break, ultimately leading to a 42-8 run and becoming the first team to clinch a playoff berth this season. From zero to hero, Mattingly is now being praised for his strategic coaching moves and for his poise during a period of hardship.
