SAN FRANCISCO — clinching a playoff berth Saturday afternoon.They hope to do the same for a division title Sunday.The Dodgers (90-71) assured themselves of a sixth consecutive trip to the postseason Saturday with a 10-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants.Article continues below ...Los Angeles begins play Sunday tied with the Rockies for first place in the National League West after Colorado lost to Washington 12-2 later Saturday.They’ll take the field Sunday with a meaningful game less than 24 hours after champagne was flowing following their clinching of no worse than an NL wild-card playoff berth Saturday.“Everybody’s got their footprint on this season Luis Tiant Jersey ,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts boasted as he toasted the team after Saturday’s win. “We’re going to celebrate this victory, understanding we have a lot of important baseball ahead. But in this moment, everybody celebrates each other.”As opposed to Saturday, when they had already showered and headed back to the hotel before the Rockies took the field, the Dodgers will get a chance to do scoreboard-watching on equal terms Sunday. All major league games have approximately the same starting time — a little after noon PT — on the final day of the regular season.Should the Dodgers and Rockies finish tied atop the NL West, a one-game playoff would be held Monday in Los Angeles http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-mitch-moreland-jersey , with the winner advancing to the NL Division Series and loser playing Tuesday in the single-elimination wild-card game.The wild-card game will be hosted by the NL Central runner-up — the Chicago Cubs or Milwaukee.The Dodgers will go for a series sweep Sunday with right-hander Walker Buehler (7-5, 2.76 ERA) dueling Giants rookie left-hander Andrew Suarez (7-12, 4.22).Buehler will take the mound on a roll, having allowed two earned runs in 20 innings of his last three starts.He has faced the Giants three times in his career (one start), going 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA.Buehler will face a Giants team that had its best offensive showing against Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw on Saturday.Hunter Pence contributed two doubles to a five-run, eight-hit Giants assault on Kershaw Tony Conigliaro Jersey , who had never before in 43 previous starts allowed five earned runs against San Francisco.Giants fans did not enjoy watching the Dodgers celebrate inside AT&T Park but appreciated the effort of Pence, who is being applauded on every at-bat in this season-ending homestand as if it’s his last in San Francisco.The pending free agent has responded with seven hits in 21 at-bats this week, with two doubles and a home run. He also has scored five runs.Pence has faced Buehler twice, recording a single and a walk.Suarez hopes to duplicate an earlier effort against the Dodgers in his only appearance against them this season.He shut out Los Angeles on two hits in six innings of a 2-1 road win in August but did not get a decision.Suarez has not pitched nearly as well in September, going 1-3.Also at stake Sunday is the winner of the season series. Each team has won nine times. The Kansas City Royals will go for back-to-back wins when they host the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night in the second installment of a three-game series.Kansas City (48-95) is coming off a wild 4-3 win in 10 innings in the series opener. The Royals had a runner on second base when Alcides Escobar laid down a sacrifice bunt. White Sox reliever Jeanmar Gomez fired an errant throw to third base to try to catch the lead runner, Brian Goodwin Rafael Devers Jersey , who instead headed home for the winning run.The tough ending marked the sixth loss in a row for Chicago (56-88).Article continues below ...White Sox right-hander Dylan Covey (5-12, 5.44 ERA) will make his 18th start of the season and 30th of his career. Covey has been in the bullpen for the past three weeks but is rejoining the rotation to replace rookie Michael Kopech, who tore a ligament in his elbow and will require Tommy John surgery after only four starts in the big leagues.In seven starts against the Royals, Covey is 0-6 with a 5.87 ERA. He has walked 19 and fanned 20 in 38 1/3 innings. This will be the fourth time this season that Covey has faced Kansas City.The Royals will counter with right-hander Brad Keller (7-6, 3.14 ERA), who will make the 18th start of his rookie campaign. He has limited opponents to three runs in his past 15 innings for a 1.80 ERA during that span.In six career appearances (three starts) against the White Sox http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-j.-d.-martinez-jersey , Keller is 1-1 with a 4.76 ERA. He has walked seven and struck out 17 in 17 innings. He most recently faced Chicago on Aug. 18, when he earned a win and allowed one run — a solo homer by White Sox outfielder Nicky Delmonico — in five innings.Keller has made the most of his opportunity since he was selected in last winter’s Rule 5 draft by the Cincinnati Reds and quickly traded to the Royals for a player to be named. The moves gave him an opportunity to jump to the majors after working his way through the Arizona Diamondbacks’ system as an eight-round pick in 2013.“I wouldn’t call it effortless, but he comes at you,” Royals manager Ned Yost told the Kansas City Star. “He throws strikes with his stuff. He’s not all over the place. He’s not pitching from behind. He’s coming after you.”White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu will be available for the second game since coming off the 10-day disabled list. The Cuban slugger needs three more home runs to become the ninth player in history to hit at least 25 homers in each of his first five seasons. Others on the list include Joe DiMaggio and Albert Pujols.“Everybody knows I was feeling good with my offense before the injury happened,” Abreu said through an interpreter to MLB.com. “Now, I just want to think about the things I can do on a daily basis. We have 18 or 20 games left David Ross Jersey , and I want to take advantage of every single game.”
