BOSTON -- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he would have center fielder Enrique Hernandez play shallower in center field during Game 2 on Wednesday than he did in Game 1 to prevent balls from dropping in and to thwart aggressive baserunning.
"We're going to make an adjustment tonight," Roberts said. "Left field, we're fine. I think in center, our defense can shallow up a bit. Typically, we go by distance and depth. Right field, I'm fine with."
Hernandez, a star last October, is 3-for-30 this postseason, but Roberts said he started him the first two games of the World Series because of the difficulty a left-handed hitter like Cody Bellinger would have against southpaw's Chris Sale and David Price.
