Here’s the full Dodgers lineup for Saturday’s matchup against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller:

  1. Shohei Ohtani, DH
  2. Mookie Betts, SS
  3. Freddie Freeman, 1B
  4. Teoscar Hernandez, RF
  5. Tommy Edman, 2B
  6. Will Smith, C
  7. Michael Conforto, LF
  8. Max Muncy, 3B
  9. Andy Pages, CF

Roki Sasaki will be on the mound for the Dodgers tonight, after pitching a career-high six innings in his last start against the Texas Rangers on April 19. The right-hander will look to make another quality start against Pittsburgh.

Following Friday night’s shutout loss, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team has failed to find its rhythm as of late.

“Certain nights, we just can’t put a complete ballgame together with starting pitching, hitting, timely hitting, all that stuff,” Roberts said. “It just hasn’t been synced up.”

The defending champions will hope to fix that Saturday night at Chavez Ravine.

  1. Time to bench Conforto and Muncy and play Kike regardless of a RH pitcher is pitching. Those two are not not doing anything and a detriment to the offense, defense, and energy of the team. Couple of times KIIKE could have PH when a lefty reliever was brought in and they stuck with Conforto and became a rally killer.
