The Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals will play Game 3 of their National League Division Series at 1:08 p.m. PT on Monday at Dodger Stadium, and be televised by MLB Network.
The start time was locked in with Game 3 of the ALDS between Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians getting postponed to Monday night. It was the second postseason game in as many days to get rained out.
The Dodgers’ weekend was flipped on its head when Game 2 of their series was postponed. Instead of returning to Los Angeles, they were forced to play an afternoon game at Nationals Park.
Entering Sunday, potential start times for Game 3 at Dodger Stadium were 1:08 p.m. or 3:08 p.m. local time. It hinged on whether Monday’s slate of games was to included three or four games.
Game 4 between the Dodgers and Nationals will be played on Tuesday at 2:05 p.m. PT, unless the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants NLDS matchup ends with a sweep. In that case, the Dodgers and Nationals would play a Game 4 at 5:08 p.m. PT.
Chicago owns a 2-0 lead and their series shifts to AT&T Park on Monday, with first pitch set for 6:38 p.m.
Should the Dodgers and Nationals go to the distance, Game 5 at Nationals Park would start at 2:05 p.m. PT or 5:08 p.m. PT on Thursday. That again would be based on what unfolds between the Cubs and Giants.
If they too require a Game 5, the Dodgers and Nationals will start their winner-take-all contest at 2:05 p.m. PT.
