ATLANTA (AP) The Los Angeles Dodgers put left fielder Chris Taylor in the leadoff position as manager Dave Roberts adjusted his lineup to face Atlanta Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.
The right-handed hitting Taylor is taking the spot of the left-handed hitting Joc Pederson in Sunday night’s lineup.
Another right-handed hitter, David Freese, is playing first base instead of Max Muncy and hitting third. Also, Matt Kemp is taking the place of Yasiel Puig in right field and hitting fifth.
The Braves are staying with rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. as their leadoff hitter but manager Brian Snitker is moving Ender Inciarte into the No. 2 spot. Third baseman Johan Camargo, who hit second in Game 2, is hitting fifth.
Otherwise, the Braves’ lineup remains unchanged.
The Dodgers lead the best-of-five series 2-0. The Braves must win to force a Game 4 on Monday.
