The Los Angeles team lost 5-3 to the San Diego Padres, who will now face the Philadelphia Phillies.
The best season in Dodgers history ended Saturday night with a groan in a 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres in Game 4 of the NLDS.
After winning a franchise-record 111 games in the regular season, the Dodgers were eliminated from the postseason by losing an NL Division Series three games to one in one of the biggest postseason upsets in baseball history.

NBC4 sports reporter Michael J. Duarte captured the video.
"Give the Padres credit," Roberts said after a Dodgers season was interrupted by a team with fewer regular-season wins for the fourth time in his seven seasons as manager.
They lost each of the next three games, never scoring more than three runs in a game.
The victory takes the Padres to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 1998.

The Dodgers were the second team to be eliminated from the postseason after receiving a first-round bye under the expanded playoff format instituted this season.
The New York Yankees, who also received a bye, were following their American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians, two games to one, entering Sunday's game.
They pay tribute to several Los Angeles Latinos for their community contribution.
Astronaut Jose Hernández, Dodgers commentator Jaime Jarrín, and the executive director of Latino Donor were some of the honorees.
"That's the format the way it is, and you do the best you can in the regular season to put yourself in a position to get home-court advantage, get the bye in the wild-card round, and it all depends on that, for us to prepare in the best possible way to get through a division series, and we didn't," Roberts said.
