ATLANTA (AP) -- Left-hander Sean Newcomb will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers and not Kevin Gausman.
With the Braves trailing 2-0 in the best-of-five series, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker made the announcement Saturday.
Snitker said he discussed the idea with general manager Alex Anthopolos on the flight home after Atlanta's 3-0 loss Friday.
The 25-year-old Newcomb was 12-9 with a 3.90 ERA in his first full big league season. He pitched two scoreless innings in the opener in relief of Mike Foltynewicz.
