DENVER – Shohei Ohtani had two hits and raised his average to .310 in his bid to overtake leader Luis Arráez and become the National League’s first Triple Crown winner since 1937 by leading the Los Angeles Dodgers, who moved into the playoffs, helped beat the Colorado Rockies 13-13. 2 on Saturday evening.

Ohtani went 2-5 and came within four points of Arráez, who had a night off from the San Diego Padres lineup and has a .314 batting average heading into the final day of the regular season.

Ohtani leads the NL with 54 home runs and 130 RBIs. The last winner of the NL Triple Crown was Joe Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1937. The last to accomplish the feat in the Major Leagues was Miguel Cabrera of Detroit in 2012.

“It’s very unlikely, but I expect Arráez to play tomorrow,” manager Dave Roberts said of Ohtani, who overtook Arráez. “We’ll see if Shohei can miss another big day.”

Additionally, Ohtani stole his 58th base of a season after becoming the first 50/50 player earlier this month.

Teoscar Hernandez and Enrique Hernandez each hit three home runs for Los Angeles, which had 18 hits and scored at least 11 runs in consecutive games for the first time since July 21 and 22 last year at Texas. Teoscar Hernandez has 99 RBIs.

Teoscar Hernandez and Ohtani can reach milestones on Sunday.

“Hopefully he can get six hits like he did in Miami so he can at least compete and compete for the batting title and a Triple Crown,” Hernandez said, thinking back to Ohtani’s three-homer, 10-RBI game on Sept. 19. “If I get the opportunity, I will do my best, not only for the 100 RBIs but also for the team’s run.”

Yoshinobu Yamamato (7-2) gave up two runs and four hits in five innings and struck out six to earn his first win since defeating the Rockies on June 1. Yamamoto was making his fourth start after being sidelined for three months due to a strained rotator cuff.

The Dodgers (97-64) secured the majors’ best record and home-field advantage in the postseason when the Philadelphia Phillies lost at the Washington Nationals early Saturday.

“That was important for us, and that’s why we played hard,” Hernandez said.

Ohtani singled in the first, grounded out in the second, walked and scored in the fifth and singled in the sixth. He flied out in the seventh and grounded out in the ninth.

Enrique Hernandez, who finished with three hits, hit a 430-foot home run to center off Antonio Senzatela (0-1) in the second inning for a 4-1 lead. Teoscar Hernandez’s 33rd home run in the fifth made the score 8-2.

Ezequiel Tovar hit his 26th home run for Colorado (61-100), reaching the century mark for losses for the second straight year.

“It’s annoying, whether it’s loss No. 1 or loss No. 50, you don’t like it,” manager Bud Black said. “You have to look at the perspective of where we are with our team and where we are going. That’s the big picture in all of this.”

Charlie Blackmon, who will retire Sunday after 14 years in the majors, all with the Rockies, was 1 for 4 and scored a run.
