The 36-year-old right-hander hasn’t faced the Diamondbacks in three years, but his postseason resume is long. Ryan Pepiot will figure into the pitching plan for Game 3 too, as needed.
Dodgers pitcher Lance Lynn turned around what had been a disastrous season after being acquired from the Chicago White Sox in a July trade. In 21 starts prior to the trade, Lynn was 6-9 with a 6.47 ERA. In 11 starts after the trade, he went 7-2 with a 4.36 ERA. He is expected to start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night in Phoenix.
This year Lynn led the major leagues in home runs allowed by a pitcher, including 16 in his 11 starts with the Dodgers. Only three Dodger pitchers allowed more home runs this season. The Diamondbacks are expected to counter with right-hander Brandon Pfaadt in Game 3. Manager Torey Lovullo declined to officially name Pfaadt.“It probably ticked up a little,” Prior said. “But I think it was standard-type stuff where he’s been over the last month or so.”
