Shohei Ohtani will be in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ lineup for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Dave Roberts will keep the Japanese player in the lineup after considering giving him a rest, in a key game for the Dodgers, who trail 2-0.

The series moves to Dodger Stadium after Los Angeles’ two losses in Milwaukee. For the Dodgers, returning home represents an opportunity to earn their first win in this series and halt the Brewers’ advance toward the World Series.

Blake Snell is expected to start for the Dodgers, while Robert Gasser will start for Milwaukee. Keeping Ohtani in the batting order is Roberts’ key decision for an offense looking to respond after the first two games.

Game 3 is scheduled for this Wednesday, 14 October, at 18:00 hours, Mexico City time. In Mexico, the announced broadcast will be on FOX and FOX One.
