Time for NLCS Game 3, lineups, live updates

After the Dodgers and Mets split the first two games in Los Angeles, the National League Championship Series moves to New York for Game 3 on Wednesday night.

The Dodgers beat the Mets 9-0 in Game 1 after a stellar start from Jack Flaherty, but New York responded with a convincing 7-3 win in Game 2, highlighted by rookie Mark Vientos' grand slam.

Luis Severino (11-7, 3.91 ERA) starts for the Mets and has gotten off to a good start in each of his two 2024 postseason appearances. Walker Buehler (1-6, 5.38 ERA) suffered the loss to the Padres in Game 3 of the NLDS by giving up six runs in the first two innings.

“The East Coast/West Coast, LA/New York thing is pretty cool,” Buehler said a day before Game 3. “I imagine it’s going to rock here tomorrow.”

Follow us for updates from Wednesday's game at Citi Field:

NEW YORK – Shohei Ohtani kept his composure Tuesday, occasionally smiling, even joining in a laugh and refusing to let anyone see him sweat.

If he feels pressure to lead the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series, he doesn't show it publicly.

The Dodgers did well without his presence, reaching the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets. But at some point the Dodgers will need him to get where they ultimately want to go.

The Dodgers are full of stars, but it's hard to imagine them attending a World Series parade in downtown Los Angeles if Ohtani continues to struggle. He's just 6-for-27 this postseason and has gone home run-free in his last six games.

“This is my first experience in the postseason,” Ohtani said, “so I can't really rely on the experiences or my reflection in the past.” But what I do know is that we played against good teams, better teams , with their best pitchers. “So it may not be as easy to get base hits and produce results.”
