Tarik Skubal Set to Start Game 1 of NLCS Against Brewers

Tarik Skubal has been named the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting pitcher for Game 1 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers. Acquired by Los Angeles on August 1 after Milwaukee declined to meet trade demands, Skubal now faces the team that pursued him. The trade left Milwaukee starting Logan Henderson while the Dodgers utilize Skubal to spearhead their postseason rotation. Meanwhile, it was revealed the Braves previously refused to trade Didier Fuentes for him.
