LOS ANGELES — With the Los Angeles Dodgers in an 0-2 hole in the best-of-seven NL Championship Series, manager Dave Roberts made some changes to his lineup for Game 3 against lefty Robert Gasser, including sliding the struggling Shohei Ohtani down to sixth in the order.

Left-hander Blake Snell is the Dodgers' starting pitcher for Game 3 on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

Snell was knocked out in the fourth inning of the Dodgers' NLDS Game 2 loss at home against Atlanta earlier in October. Snell pitched six games in the Dodgers' World Series run last year, posting a 3.18 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 34 innings.

Against a southpaw in Gasser at Dodger Stadium, Roberts inserted right-handed hitter Miguel Rojas into the lineup at third base for Max Muncy.
