The Los Angeles Dodgers will start Tarik Skubal against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. Manager Dave Roberts announced Friday that Yoshinobu Yamamoto, last year's World Series MVP, will start Game 2 on Monday at American Family Field.
Skubal, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, pitched six dominant innings in the Dodgers' Game 1 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the division series, allowing one run and two hits whilst striking out seven and walking two. Yamamoto started Game 3 of the NLDS and struck out ten over seven innings, allowing one run and four hits with one walk.
Roberts said the Dodgers were in discussions about adding a pitcher for the best-of-seven NLCS, which would require them to drop a position player. Rosters are due Sunday morning. Miguel Rojas, the utility player who exited Game 3 against the Braves with lower back pain, took ground balls and batting practice at Dodger Stadium on Friday. Roberts said the day was 'encouraging'.
