NLCS Game 4 lineups: Shohei Ohtani back at leadoff for Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers are placing struggling superstar Shohei Ohtani at the top of their lineup, back to his usual spot after he batted sixth in Game 3. Ohtani did have a sharp single against DL Hall for one of his better looking swings of the series, but he remains in a funk brought on by injury; he hasn't homered since returning late in the regular season and doesn't have an extra-base hit or RBI in this postseason. "Just seeing the work the last couple days, I like where his head is at," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "I liked the at-bats yesterday, and I felt that trying to shake it up a little bit. Obviously we haven't performed the way that we're capable of, so to kind of shake it up a little bit but something that's of somewhat normalcy that our guys are used to."The Brewers lineup, meanwhile, leans on lefties against righty Tyler Glasnow, with Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and David Hamilton back in the mix along with regulars Brice Turang, Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell. Glasnow doesn't always hold runners well, so expect the speed of Hamilton to play a role like it did in Game 2, when he reached base three times and scored each time.Brewers starting lineup for Game 4 of the NLCSJackson Chourio, left fieldBrice Turang, second baseWilliam Contreras. catcherJake Bauers, first baseChristian Yelich, designated hitterGarrett Mitchell, center fieldCooper Pratt, shortstopSal Frelick, right fieldDavid Hamilton, third baseShane Drohan, left-handed pitcherLos Angeles Dodgers lineup for Game 4 of the NLCSShohei Ohtani, designated hitterMookie Betts, shortstopFreddie Freeman, first baseWill Smith, catcherKyle Tucker, right fieldTeoscar Hernández, left fieldMiguel Rojas, second baseAndy Pages, center fieldKiké Hernández, third baseTyler Glasnow, right-handed pitcherThis article originally appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: NLCS Game 4 lineups: Shohei Ohtani back at leadoff for Dodgers
