"I wanted to make sure we raised a glass to Clayton on this day, his career, and then kind of acknowledge what we've done this year to get to the postseason," Roberts said. "And that was about it. We understand there is a long way to go."
"It never gets old, never take it for granted. It takes a lot of hard work to get there. It's certainly not a rite of passage for any club," Roberts said."
"This has to be the most important six weeks of our lives...because we have what everyone wants."
Clayton Kershaw allowed a leadoff home run and was not sharp but limited the Giants to two runs, recording six strikeouts over 4.1 innings before exiting to a prolonged standing ovation at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers secured a playoff berth when the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks shortly before the Dodgers completed their win over the Giants. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts led a champagne toast in the clubhouse to honor Kershaw and celebrate the postseason qualification. The team held a muted celebration, reserving more elaborate festivities for a potential National League West title. Roberts emphasized the hard work required to reach the postseason and noted there is a long way to go.
