LOS ANGELES (AP) The Dodgers have agreed to a contract extension with play-by-play announcer Charley Steiner, who will work a reduced schedule in 2019 at his request.

The team said Monday the deal extends through the 2021 season. Steiner, who is 69, is entering his 15th season with the Dodgers.

Steiner says he's trying to keep pace with Father Time, Mother Nature and the road, all of which he points out have "never lost a battle."
