Dodgers Move Shohei Ohtani Back To Leadoff With Season On Line In NLCS Game 4

Dodgers are one loss from elimination, trailing the Brewers 3-0 in the NLCS and needing four straight wins to reach the World Series.
Shohei Ohtani was bumped back to the leadoff spot after a stint hitting sixth amid a .182 slump and lingering knee/biceps issues; Roberts cited Ohtani’s extra work and improved at-bats.
Dave Roberts overhauled the lineup—Mookie Betts to No. 2, Freddie Freeman to No. 3 and Will Smith up to No. 4—Smith delivered a key double in Game 3.
