SAN DIEGO — Entering this week's National League Division Series, the Dodgers knew they'd have to stomach one game with an imperfect pitching plan, that Tony Gonsolin's reduced workload following a late-season forearm strain would force them to resort to one de facto bullpen game.
With the series tied 1-1 and shifting south to Petco Park this weekend, the Dodgers decided Friday was the time to get it out of the way.
Gonsolin will start a pivotal Game 3 in the best-of-five series, manager Dave Roberts announced Wednesday night and confirmed during a video call with reporters Thursday, but exactly how long he will go, and how the rest of the staff will line up behind him, remains unclear.
