LOS ANGELES -- Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies began to take on a spring training feel, with starting pitchers piggy-backing each other's outings, with Triple-A players all over the field in the final innings and nobody seeming too worked up about the result.When you can afford to play like that in Game 162, you're usually in pretty good shape.The meaningful action came in the middle of the game, when the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs to sew up the National League's top seed, locking in the Dodgers' first-round playoff opponent: the Atlanta Braves.
