Dodgers shake up NLCS lineup, restoring Shohei Ohtani to leadoff with season on the line

The Los Angeles Dodgers, facing elimination in the National League Championship Series, made a lineup change for Game 4 on Thursday night by moving Shohei Ohtani back to the leadoff position. The Dodgers trailed the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 in the best-of-seven series and needed to win four consecutive games to advance to the World Series. A loss would end their bid for a third consecutive championship.
