NL wild card standings: And then there were two

The Dodgers continued their winning ways on Sunday, clubbing their way to a 7-1 win over the Rockies to complete a weekend sweep. But the Cardinals also won, leaving the Dodgers still two games back in the race for the second National League wild card.

The win by the Cardinals, coupled with the loss by the Brewers eliminated Milwaukee, leaving just two teams vying for the final NL playoff spot.

The Dodgers now need five of six outcomes to go their way just to force a tie with St. Louis. Here are the standings:
