As the 2019 NLDS shifted gears to the nation’s capital, the biggest question mark was which pitcher the Nationals would start against the Dodgers in Game 3.
Manager Dave Martinez certainly took his time weighing his options. Nevertheless, the skipper announced to the media early Sunday afternoon that he would hand the ball to veteran righty Anibal Sanchez.
Game 3 about the closest thing to a must-win for the Dodgers without being an elimination game.
By awarding the start to Sanchez on Sunday, the Washington rotation sets up with staff ace Max Scherzer throwing Game 4 on Monday, also in Washington.
