The Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves in a precarious spot heading into Game three of the NLDS, tied one game apiece with the Atlanta Braves. The Shohei Ohtani situation looms large, and with the series shifting to Atlanta, the Dodgers need a road win just to stay breathing in this postseason.
And what a stage it is for Game three, because this pitching matchup is something the history books haven't seen before. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale are set to take the mound in what analysts say will make genuine Major League Baseball history. Two arms, two legacies, and everything on the line in Atlanta tonight.
On a somber note, the baseball world is mourning the loss of Fred Claire, the longtime Dodgers executive who passed away yesterday at the age of ninety one, on his birthday. Claire spent decades shaping the Dodgers organization, starting in the public relations department in nineteen sixty nine and leaving a legacy that touched generations of the franchise.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
