The Los Angeles Dodgers are aiming to secure a decisive series win against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Here are the starting lineups:
Los Angeles Dodgers Lineup
- Shohei Ohtani, DH
- Mookie Betts, SS
- Teoscar Hernandez, RF
- Freddie Freeman, 1B
- Tommy Edman, 2B
- Andy Pages, CF
- Max Muncy, 3B
- Kiké Hernandez, 2B
- Austin Barnes, C
Dodgers’ Will Smith is getting a scheduled day off, and Michael Conforto is out of the lineup due to the left-handed pitcher on the mound for the Pirates (Bailey Falter). The Dodgers’ offense showed signs of breaking out of a recent slump in Saturday’s 8-4 victory, highlighted by home runs from Teoscar Hernandez and Kiké Hernandez. They will look for a similar offensive performance on Sunday, with Tyler Glasnow pitching.
Pirates Lineup:
Pirates manager Derek Shelton is keeping the same lineup he used in the previous game against LA. This is only the second time this season Shelton has used the same lineup in consecutive games. The other instance was against the Los Angeles Angels from April 22-23.
- CF Oneil Cruz
- RF Bryan Reynolds
- DH Andrew McCutchen
- 1B Enmanuel Valdez
- C Joey Bart
- 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes
- LF Tommy Pham
- 2B Adam Frazier
- SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa
