The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't the lea

st bit worried about a disappointing postseason from Clayton Kershaw.According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post Martin Perez Jersey , the Dodgers are giving their ace pitcher a whopping three-year contract extension worth $93 million - ending any speculation that he would test the free agent waters.So Kershaw will not hit free agency, instead new deal is for 3 yrs at $93M plus bonus provisions— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) November 2, 2018Kershaw turned 30 years of age in March and was hampered by back injuries in 2018, but the Dodgers appear confident in his ability to sustain the Cy Young level of play for the net three years.The Dodgers were embarrassed by the Boston Red Sox in five games and fell in the World Series for a second straight year. Kershaw was off in both of his stars- struggling big-time against the Red Sox in games one and five.advertisingIn the postseason, Kershaw pitched 30 innings and struck out 26 batters, but he allowed four home runs and posted an ERA of 4.20. Kershaw finished with a record of 2-3 in the playoffs, further complicating his legacy after another year of underachieving when his team needed it most. Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY SportsBut the Dodgers are simply looking at the regular season version of Kershaw. He went 9-5 with 155 strikeouts in 161.1 innings pitched and an ERA of 2.73. They're banking on more long-term success from the three-time NL Cy Young winner.In re-signing Kershaw, the Dodgers now have their top priority season out of the way. The goal now has to simply be to find another quality reliever and more bench players, because the Dodgers didn't have any production there during the World Series.advertisingThe Dodgers have now won six consecutive NL East division titles, but they only have two NL pennants and no championship rings to show for it. With Kershaw landing a major extension, he has to get over the playoff hump and find a way to end this team's 31-year World Series drought in 2019. The Dodgers are banking on him doing it. DETROIT (AP) — Tyler Austin looked pretty comfortable in his debut with the Minnesota Twins.Austin hit a two-run homer, Kyle Gibson pitched seven effective innings and the Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on Saturday night.Austin was acquired in the July 30 trade that sent Lance Lynn to the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old Austin, who hit .223 with eight homers in 34 games for the Yankees before the move, was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday.“He looks like a modern-day player — his first three times up were a walk http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-moore-jersey , a strikeout and a homer,” manager Paul Molitor said. “That’s what today’s game seems to be about.”Austin connected on a Francisco Liriano slider in the fifth.“My first time up he threw me some good changeups, and I swung through them,” he said. “I swung through another changeup on 2-0, but he left a slider over the plate on 2-1 and I put a good swing on it.”Minnesota improved to 2-4 on its seven-game trip. Gibson (6-9) allowed one run and seven hits, struck out four and walked two.“The defense played great,” Gibson said. “My fastball command was a lot better tonight, and that means more balls in play. They really picked me up when I needed them.”Detroit lost for the seventh time in eight games. Liriano (3-7) allowed three runs and six hits in five innings while dropping to 0-6 in his last 13 outings.“Every time I feel like I’m getting into a rhythm, I’ll walk a couple guys or make a couple bad pitches and it gets away from me,” he said. “I’ve got to find a way to stay focused on the next pitch instead of getting frustrated when I make a mistake.”The Tigers rallied in the ninth against Trevor Hildenberger, who got a chance to close after Fernando Rodney was traded to Oakland on Thursday.Victor Martinez led off with a walk, and Niko Goodrum followed with a drive to right for his 12th homer. Jim Adduci then singled, but James McCann struck out looking, rookie Victor Reyes flied out Delino DeShields Jersey , and JaCoby Jones struck out for the third time.“We needed one more hit, and we just couldn’t get it,” Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire said. “Mac had a great at-bat, but they got him on the 3-2 pitch, Victor hit the ball hard but right at someone, and then they get the strikeout to end it.”It was Hildenberger’s first save of the year and the second of his career, both coming at Comerica Park.The Tigers jumped in front on McCann’s RBI single in the second but didn’t score again off Gibson.“I’ve known Gibby for a long time, and you can really see how he has learned to pitch,” said Gardenhire, who managed the Twins in Gibson’s first two seasons. “We’ve got a lot of young hitters, and he took advantage of them.”The Twins tied it in the third when Eddie Rosario scored on Liriano’s wild pitch.Austin’s ninth homer gave the Twins a 3-1 lead, and Rosario’s RBI double off Zach McAllister put Minnesota ahead by three in the sixth.TRAINER’S ROOMTwins: 1B Logan Morrison was placed on the disabled list, and he will undergo season-ending hip surgery. . RHP Michael Pineda (elbow) pitched three scoreless innings for Class-A Fort Myers in his second appearance after Tommy John surgery.Tigers: LHP Daniel Norris pitched two innings for Detroit’s Gulf Coast League team, allowing one unearned run. He has been sidelined since April 30 with a groin injury.GOODRUM HAUNTS OLD TEAM AGAINGoodrum’s homer was his second in as many days and his third of the season against Minnesota. Goodrum Joey Gallo Jersey , who was drafted by Minnesota in 2010 and made his major league debut with the Twins last season, is hitting .320 with eight RBIs in 25 at-bats against them this season.MORRIS HONORED ON SUNDAYBefore Sunday’s series finale, the Tigers will retire the No. 47 of newly inducted Hall of Famer Jack Morris. Morris won World Series championships with three teams, including the Tigers and Twins, and will be the ninth player to have his jersey retired by Detroit. Alan Trammell, who also went into the Hall of Fame this year, will have his No. 3 retired on Aug. 26.“It will be an honor to be here, because I was a coach in Minnesota when Jack helped us win in 1991, and we are great friends,” Gardenhire said. “The fans here adore him, and so do the fans in Minnesota.”UP NEXTThe teams finish their three-game series with Detroit’s Matthew Boyd (6-10, 4.33 ERA) facing Kohl Stewart, who will be making his major league debut for the Twins.
