Kevin Gausman was announced as the likely starter for the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 but they may now be rethinking that decision. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports that the team is now leaning toward giving the start to Sean Newcomb instead.

Down 0-2 you can’t really fault Atlanta for pulling out all the stops. Newcomb came within one strike of throwing a no-hitter against Los Angeles during the regular season.
