The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to win their series against the St. Louis Cardinals in Wednesday’s rubber match.
Two-way player Shohei Ohtani is taking the mound for the Dodgers, pitching for the first time since he left his last start with cramps. He’s already hitting leadoff.
Across 15 innings this season, Ohtani has a 2.40 ERA with 17 strikeouts and a 1.27 WHIP.
Opposite Ohtani is Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore, who’s 6-9 with a 3.69 ERA across 109 innings this season.
Max Muncy is out of the lineup after his two-home-run performance against a lefty, while Alex Call is starting in left field.
