Ryu to start Game 3 of NLCS, Nolasco to follow

ST. LOUIS -- Hyun-Jin Ryu will start Game 3 (Monday at 5 p.m. PT on TBS) and Ricky Nolasco will get the nod in Game 4 (Tuesday at 5 p.m. PT on TBS) for the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.

Manager Don Mattingly confirmed the rotation that begins with Zack Greinke in Game 1 and Clayton Kershaw in Game 2 in St. Louis.

Ryu is coming off a disappointing three-inning start in Game 3 of the NL Division Series against Atlanta. In his only start against the Cardinals this year, he pitched seven scoreless innings in a win.

Nolasco stepped aside to let Kershaw pitch the decisive Game 4 of the NLDS. He was 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA against the Cards while with Miami.
