Up next
Hyun-jin Ryu starts for the Dodgers on Saturday night. Manager Dave Roberts said that Ryu will have a normal start, and that it was too early to announce the postseason starting rotation.
“He’ll make his start tomorrow, then we’ll reassess,” Roberts said.
Madison Bumgarner starts for the Giants, a 6:10 p.m. PT start. Justin Turner, who was home sick on Friday, is expected to play on Saturday.
