10/1 3-0 W over the Padres
The Dodgers win the west! The Dodgers win the west! The Dodgers win the west! Lasorda gave the ball to Valenzuela (16-10) and he delivered! He pitched 8.2 innings and was 1 out from the shutout. He struck out 6. LA pounded out 13 hits and left 15 runners on base. Should have won this one going away. Incaviglia went 3-5, Sax 2-3 and even Valenzuela went 2-5 with 2 RBI's. Ken Howell got the final out for his 7th save on the year.


10/3 5-2 W over the Giants
Rick Rhoden (23-6) threw 7 shut out innings picked up his NL leading 23rd win of the year. Franco pitched a scoreless 9th for his 31st save. LA opened up the scoring on a Sax, 2-run single in the 3rd. Stubbs his career HR #101 (33) in the 4th. Sax went 3-4, Tony Phillips went 3-3. We've won 7 in a row and 9 of our last 10. We are the hottest team in baseball.


Darryl Strawberry has put all doubters to rest this year on who is better, Eric Davis or him. Strawberry had 14 HR's in September and now has 48 on the year, to go with 49 steals. No player has ever been 40/40 until this year, and Strawberry has a legit chance at a mind crushing 50/50 season.


10/4 10-4 W over the Giants
Ray Knight went 2-4 with 5 RBI's and hit a 3-run HR (4). He's been quite the fill in for DeCinces since he's been starting. The Giants pitching walked LA 12 times in the game, but they were using a pile of rookie pitchers. John Denny went the distance to run his record to 17-8 for the year.


LA is only 1 game behind the Expos for homefield in the playoffs. Wow. Considering everything this season. Wow.


10/6 3-0 W over the Giants
Quite the finish to the regular season for LA. We end on a 9 game win streak. Today, Valenzuela (17-10) took a no-hitter into the 7th inning and left after 8 innings of 1 hit ball. He struck out 11. John Franco pitched the 9th for his 32nd save. LA scored first on Ray Knight's 5th HR of the year. In the 6th it was a 2-run single by Incaviglia that completed the scoring. LA wins the final 9 games of the season and 18-3 over the final 21 games.


Oh, one last thing. Strawberry didn't steal a base during the last 2 weeks of the year, but he was caught. He hit 2 HR's in the season finale and ended with 50 HR's and 49 SB's. So close, but wow, what a season.
