Following a delay due to inclement weather conditions, the Los Angeles Dodgers will play against the Washington Nationals at 12:45 p.m. PT.
The game’s original time was set for 10:05 a.m. PT, but heavy rain delayed the start.
The Dodgers are hunting for their second sweep of the season in Sunday’s series finale, and will hope to keep the ball rolling despite the slight delay.

The Dodgers have scored double digit runs in both of their games against the Nationals so far, marking the first times they’ve done so all season.
A 13-6 win on Friday and a 10-5 win on Saturday have given the offense the boost they’ve desperately needed through the early goings, and have seen the big bats in LA’s lineup wake up. The Dodgers hit five home runs in the first game of the series—including the first of the season for reigning MVP Shohei Ohtani—and Andy Pages continued his strong start to the season in the second game.
