Monday night at Chase Field, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to advance to the NLCS for the third time in the last six seasons. They hold a 2-0 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the best-of-five series. Here's how you can watch Game 3.
A few hours before first pitch, both clubs announced their Game 3 starting lineups. Here is the batting order the visiting Dodgers are sending out there:
- CF Chris Taylor
- SS Corey Seager
- 3B Justin Turner
- 1B Cody Bellinger
- RF Yasiel Puig
- C Austin Barnes
- LF Curtis Granderson
- 2B Chase Utley
- RHP Yu Darvish
Utley is making his first start of the postseason after Logan Forsythe started Games 1 and 2 at second base. Also, Granderson returns to the outfield against the right-handed opposing starter.
Now here is the lineup the home D-Backs are using in Game 3:
- LF David Peralta
- SS Ketel Marte
- 1B Paul Goldschmidt
- RF J.D. Martinez
- 3B Jake Lamb
- CF A.J. Pollock
- 2B Daniel Descalso
- C Jeff Mathis
- RHP Zack Greinke
With the right-handed Darvish on the mound for the Dodgers, the D-Backs have Marte hitting second and Pollock a little lower in the batting order. Descalso remains at second base as well.
