Dodgers turn to Tarik Skubal for NLCS Game 1 opener vs Brewers; Yoshinobu Yamamoto set for Game 2
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Friday that Tarik Skubal will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking Game 2 on Monday.
- Following the Dodgers' successful National League Division Series victory over the Atlanta Braves, both Skubal and Yamamoto have been selected to lead the pitching staff again after strong performances in that series.
- During his Game 3 start, Yamamoto struck out 10 batters over seven innings, while Skubal pitched six innings of one-run ball in the NLDS opener, demonstrating their effectiveness in the previous round.
- At American Family Field in Milwaukee, the series opener begins Sunday at 7 p.m. CT; Roberts noted the team is still finalizing the pitching rotation for the remainder of the best-of-seven series.
- With rosters due Sunday morning, the Dodgers are evaluating whether to carry an additional pitcher for the series, a move that would require dropping a position player from the lineup.
