- The Washington Times - Monday, October 10, 2016

Dusty Baker moved back to his usual lineup on Monday, when he moved Bryce Harper back to clean up and Jayson Werth to the second spot in the order in the Washington Nationals’ lineup.

Harper hit second in the first two games of the series against left-handed starters. The Dodgers are starting right-handed rookie Kenta Maeda in Game 3. Maeda, 28, is a rookie in service time only. However, the Nationals have never faced him. The available players to the Dodgers who have faced Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez have just a .163 average against him.

Here are the lineups for the 4:08 p.m. start, with the series tied 1-1:
