Team Los Angeles Dodgers Quote:
"It's a big deal for me to help this team win, and it's a big deal to me to be a part of this. The Dodgers have treated me really well since I've been here. The most important thing that has happened is that they have treated
me like part of the family."

Dodgers Report:
* LHP Clayton Kershaw will start Game 1 of the NL Championship Series against the Phillies. The 21-year-old looked impressive in his first playoff start. He gave up two runs over 6 2/3 innings in Game 2 of the NL Division Series.
The rest of the Dodgers rotation will consist of RHP Vicente Padilla, RHP Hiroki Kuroda and LHP Randy Wolf. Kuroda missed the NLDS due to a stiff neck.
* RF Andre Ethier delivered a postseason-career-high three hits Saturday. It was his third multi-hit postseason game, two of which came in the division series against the Cardinals.
He had three RBIs in the last two games of the series after not driving in a run in his first 37 postseason at-bats over 11 games.
* LF Matt Kemp was the only Dodgers player who went quietly in Game 3 of the NL Division Series. Kemp struck out in each of his last four trips to the plate Saturday. His day started off well with a first-inning, infield single, and he scored on Manny Ramirez's two-out double.
The Numbers:
* 500—The batting average for both leadoff hitter Rafael Furcal and No. 3 hitter Andre Ethier in the three-game National League Division Series. Both went 6-for-12, and they combined to walk five times.
>>>RHP Vicente Padilla, who was released by the Rangers in August, on pitching seven scoreless innings to help the Dodgers win the NL Division Series in his playoff debut.
