Speechless

Are there really any words to describe what just happened? Sure it's only mid September, but with Colorado losing again tonight it feels like the Dodgers officially punched their ticket to the playoffs.

Andre Ethier came through again.

Ethier knocked his sixth walk-off hit of the season with a two-run home run to lead the Dodgers to a 5-4 win in 13 innings over the Pirates on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.

With the win and Rockies' loss to the Giants, the Dodgers increased their lead in the National League West to five games.
