‘Good Chance’ J.D. Martinez Plays Game 3; Senga’s Game 5 Status Unsure
At a Citi Field news conference Tuesday, manager Carlos Mendoza revealed that J.D. Martinez is likely to get his first NLCS start in Game 3.
Martinez slumped through September but went 4-for-14 over the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Dodgers are starting right-hander Walker Buehler in Game 3 so it is a mini-surprise that Mendoza said “there’s a good chance” Martinez will get the nod at designated hitter over left-handed hitting Jesse Winker.
