LOS ANGELES -- Austin Barnes will once again start in place of the struggling Yasmani Grandal in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, Dave Roberts, the Los Angeles Dodgers' manager, announced immediately after Monday's 4-0 loss.
Defensively, Grandal committed his third passed ball in two starts in this series and also couldn't corral Walker Buehler's sixth-inning breaking ball in the dirt, which went for the wild pitch that allowed Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw to score the second run. At the plate, Grandal struck out three times, the last one coming with one out and the bases loaded in the ninth inning.
