Dodgers manager Dave Roberts came into the postseason willing to let his starters go deeper into games.He has yet to find someone who can stick around.Hyun-Jin Ryu lasted 4 1/3 innings in Game 2 against the Milwaukee Brewers. Ace Clayton Kershaw managed just three innings in Game 1.Now Danny Salazar Jersey , it’s Walker Buehler’s turn.The rookie takes the ball on Monday night at Dodger Stadium, where he was 4-3 with a 1.93 ERA in 13 games (12 starts) during the regular season.“Obviously threw the ball pretty good at home. But that’s what you’re supposed to do. You protect your home field,” Buehler said Sunday. “Obviously 50,000 Dodger fans behind you doesn’t hurt. And sleeping in the same city that you’re going to play in and not having to fly anywhere is big.”The teams traded one-run victories in the first two games in Milwaukee, sending the series back to Los Angeles for Games 3, 4 and 5.Buehler made his postseason debut in the NL Division Series at Atlanta. The right-hander got tagged for five runs in the second inning of a 6-5 loss. He settled down after that in a five-inning outing.“You could say that there was a little bit of nerves and anxiety, but that happens,” Buehler said. “My first time there, I think I handled it fine. My heartbeat, I felt good with. I was more upset about kind of the decision to throw certain pitches.”Buehler has drawn comparisons to Kershaw based on his throwing ability, results and competitiveness. The 24-year-old rookie always projects an image of calm, and he’s not one to dwell on a clunker.“I know what happened and I was there, so I’m more of a positive feedback guy,” he said. “The only games I want to watch are the good ones and move forward and stick with what I have.”What Buehler had in the NL tiebreaker game was very good.He tossed one-hit ball into the seventh inning of Los Angeles’ 5-2 victory over Colorado that gave the Dodgers a record sixth consecutive division title. He retired his first six batters in the scoreless outing.That’s the version of Buehler that Roberts wants to see against a Brewers lineup featuring Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun and Jesus Aguilar.But if Buehler doesn’t last long, Roberts already knows what he’s got in his bullpen.“Our guys have performed really consistent for me http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-trevor-bauer-jersey ,” Roberts said. “We’ve talked about September 1 started our playoff run, and they’ve been very successful, giving us a chance to hold our team within striking distance, have given us a chance to win games late.”The Dodgers rallied late in the first two games in Milwaukee, scoring four runs in the eighth and ninth of Game 1 only to lose 6-5 and scoring a combined four runs over the seventh and eighth to win 4-3 in Game 2.For Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin, Game 3 is a return to the scene of his team’s worst loss of the season.He was charged with nine runs — eight earned — and five hits in a 21-5 rout on Aug. 2. Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam off the 30-year-old right-hander, who lasted just 4 1/3 innings.“It wasn’t my best game there, but during the season you got one or two bad games,” Chacin said. “I know people might talk about that a lot. But I’m just going to go out, just try to give my team a chance to win the game and just have fun.”The Dodgers belted six other homers in that game: two each by Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig, and solo shots from Justin Turner and Brian Dozier.Chacin rebounded on short rest against Colorado in Game 2 of the NLDS, pitching five scoreless innings.“Jhoulys is a true competitor, and he’s out on the mound thinking of ways to beat you,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Sunday. “He’s got a number of different tricks in his bag, so to speak, that he goes to get outs Edwin Encarnacion Jersey , and I enjoy that. It’s gamesmanship, it’s competitiveness, it’s creativity on the mound.”NL MVP contender Yelich returns to his home state looking to be a factor in the series. He is 1 for 8 with two walks in the first two games and hit into a game-ending groundout with the tying run in scoring position on Saturday.“I’m confident we’re going to see a big hit from Christian in the next couple of days,” Counsell said.The Brewers held an optional workout Sunday in Los Angeles.The off day allowed both managers to reset their bullpens after the teams used a combined 27 pitchers in the first two games. The Dodgers used 14, while the Brewers went through 13.“Jhoulys is capable of going deep into the game, and that’s ideal,” Counsell said. “But I think you also have to watch the game and see what’s going on. We’ll be fresh tomorrow and ready to go, so that’s good.” CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber appears to be over whatever was making him look ordinary.The two-time Cy Young Award winner pitched a three-hitter for his first shutout this season and new arrival Leonys Martin homered again for Cleveland, leading the Indians to a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.Kluber (14-6) got better as the game went on, and his performance eased any concerns the Indians had about the star right-hander. Kluber had lost two of his three previous starts and received an injection in his right knee before the All-Star break. He walked one, hit a batter and struck out seven.He’s back.“It’s wonderful,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “It seemed like he was in command the entire night, and early on we weren’t doing anything offensively, so it wasn’t like he had a cushion to pitch with.”Kluber matched zeros for five innings against Felix Pena (1-3), who carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Martin hit a leadoff homer. Martin has quickly endeared himself to his teammates and Cleveland fans by hitting two homers and batting .500 with three RBIs and three runs in just three games since being acquired in a trade with Detroit.“I’m really happy, man Andrew Miller Jersey ,” Martin said. “I came here to help. And I want to do my best to help this team to get where we want. We’ve got a long way to go still.”The AL Central-leading Indians only got four hits but notched their 60th win.The Angels were again without All-Star outfielder Mike Trout, who missed his third straight game with a sore right wrist.But even with Trout in the lineup, Los Angeles would have had a tough time against Kluber. The right-hander was never in trouble and he cooled off Japanese star Shohei Ohtani, who homered twice in Friday’s win.Ohtani came in batting .643 with four homers and eight RBIs in three games against Cleveland, but went 0 for 4 and struck out twice against Kluber.“It wasn’t a whole lot different than what we had been (doing), or at least I tried to do the last time I pitched against him,” said Kluber, who gave up Ohtani’s first homer on April 4. “Last time he hit the home run off me, I made a mistake up and out over the plate. I just didn’t make that mistake tonight.”Pena didn’t get out of the first inning in his previous outing, and the right-hander started poorly, walking the first two batters. However, Pena settled in and didn’t give up his first hit until the sixth, when Martin drove a 3-1 pitch 415 feet to right-center.Moments before Martin connected for his second homer in two days, the Indians attempted to jinx Pena by displaying — “Felix Pena is currently throwing a no-hitter” — on Progressive Field’s enormous scoreboard.The strategy worked as Martin ended Pena’s flirtation with history. The Indians added a second run when Francisco Lindor followed with a double and scored on Michael Brantley’s single.“Got the ball right in the middle, and thank God, I put a good swing on it Tyler Naquin Jersey ,” Martin said.SUPER SHORTSTOP Lindor took an infield hit away from Justin Upton with a sensational play in the sixthUpton hit a pop between the mound and second base that the All-Star shortstop snagged barehanded on one hop before throwing in time to get the Angels left fielder.Martin remembers Lindor making similar plays against him.“I used to hate that guy,” he said, smiling. “I use to hate him. He’s really good. He’s one of the best in the game. He made that play look so easy.”TROUT UPDATETrout expressed frustration that his wrist isn’t healed. He’s still having trouble swinging since injuring his wrist while sliding on Wednesday.“It’s just a day-to-day thing,” he said. “I want to be out there. It’s frustrating. You don’t want to be sitting on the bench watching your team out there.”STAR POWEROhtani showed off his power to all fields in Friday’s game, homering to right and left against Mike Clevinger.Although Ohtani doesn’t have a typical slugger’s swing, Francona says he’s got plenty of pop.“And he can run,” Francona said. “He’s an interesting guy. He’s got a chance to be pretty special.”TRAINER’S ROOMAngels: LHP Tyler Skaggs was placed on the disabled list with a strained hip muscle. Manager Mike Scioscia said Skaggs, who was scheduled to pitch Sunday’s finale, felt tightness in his previous start on July 31.Indians: C Yan Gomes will be out of the starting lineup for several games due to hamstring tendinitis. Gomes has been bothered with the condition for a while, and aggravated his leg while running out a double in the second inning on Friday.UP NEXTIndians rookie Shane Bieber will make his first start against the Angels, who will call up rookie Deck McGuire from the minors. Bieber pitched into the seventh inning against Minnesota on July 30, but didn’t factor into the decision.
