Dodgers manager Dave Roberts changed the lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

Roberts said this change is only for this game.
罗伯茨表示,这一调整只针对本场比赛。
The goal is to give the Dodgers a different look against Braves left-hander Chris Sale.
目的是让道奇在面对勇士左投克里斯·塞尔时呈现不同面貌。
On August 26, Sale shut out Yamamoto Yoshinobu and the Dodgers 1-0.
8月26日,塞尔曾以1比0完封山本由伸和道奇。
In that game, Ohtani went 0 for 4 with 2 strikeouts.
那场比赛大谷4打数0安打,吞下2次三振。
In his career against Sale, Ohtani has 3 hits in 15 at-bats, with no home runs and 1 RBI.
职业生涯对阵塞尔,大谷15打数3安打,没有全垒打,1分打点。
The best-of-five series is currently tied at 1-1.
目前五战三胜的系列赛战成1比1平。
Roberts put Mookie Betts in the leadoff spot and Freddie Freeman batting second.
罗伯茨让穆奇·贝茨打第一棒、弗雷迪·弗里曼打第二棒。
Batting fifth is the lowest spot for Ohtani since he played for the Angels in 2020.
第五棒是大谷自2020年效力天使以来最低的打序。
Roberts said he discussed this change with Ohtani on Monday night, and Ohtani "fully understood."
罗伯茨说,他周一晚与大谷讨论了这一调整,大谷“完全理解”。
Roberts also said Ohtani told him he had planned to ask for the seventh spot in September.
罗伯茨还说,大谷表示自己本来打算九月主动要求打第七棒。
Because he wants to do anything that can help the team.
因为他想做任何能帮助球队的事。
Roberts stressed this is not a sign it will continue in the future, but only for today.
罗伯茨强调,这并不是未来会继续如此的信号,只是专门针对今天。
Ohtani had a .275 batting average in the regular season, with 30 home runs and 81 RBIs.

In the first two games of the series, he had 2 hits in 8 at-bats and struck out twice.
系列赛前两战他8打数2安打,吞下2次三振。
He spent two weeks on the injured list because of problems with his right biceps and left knee.
他因右肱二头肌和左膝问题在伤兵名单待了两周。
After returning for the last five games of the regular season, he had 5 hits in 21 at-bats.
常规赛最后五场复出后,他21打数5安打。
Roberts admitted that Ohtani kept swinging at bad pitches while trying to find his rhythm.
罗伯茨承认大谷在找回手感时一直追打坏球。
Roberts said he does not expect Ohtani to bat fifth in Game 4 on Wednesday.
罗伯茨说,他不预计大谷会在周三第四战打第五棒。
He added that the change was not a lack of confidence in any player. He said it was what he thought was the best chance to win today.
