Dodgers' Greinke To Face Cards' Kelly In Game 1 Of NLCS

"Obviously, it was a great celebration and a lot of fun," reliever John Axford said Thursday. "The clubhouse guys, I don't know if they even went home."

The Los Angeles Dodgers don't have home-field advantage in the NL championship series, but they got a few extra days to savor early postseason success. Zack Greinke was getting ready to go in Game 5, then went on stand-by, and now he guards against feeling too good in the opener Friday night.
