The Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals will play Game 4 of their National League Division Series matchup at 2:05 p.m. PT on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. It will be televised on FS1. The start time was determined by the result in Game 3 between the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants.
Had the Giants not come away with a wild win in extra innings and been swept by the Cubs, first pitch between Dodgers and Nationals would have been set for 5:08 p.m. PT. Washington took a 2-1 series lead on Monday behind a four-run outburst in the ninth inning.
Kenta Maeda allowed four runs and managed to pitch just three innings. Now on the brink of elimination, the Dodgers face a difficult decision on who start in Game 4.
Manager Dave Roberts said after the Game 3 loss that the club was still mulling over their options — Clayton Kershaw on short rest or rookie Julio Urias. The Dodgers aren’t expected to announce their decision until Tuesday morning.
Similarly, the Nationals are considering Reynaldo Lopez or Joe Ross as their starter in Game 4. By holding a series lead, Washington has afforded themselves the luxury of saving Max Scherzer for a potential winner-take-all Game 5 at home on Thursday.
