Here is a guide for what fans need to know for Game 3 between the Braves and Dodgers.

GAME TIME AND STARTERS

Truist Park’s gates will open at 4 p.m. with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m. Chris Sale will get the start for the Braves while the Dodgers will look to Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Many fans thought Sale would pitch in Game 2, but manager Walt Weiss went with two bullpen games to start the series.

“If you have Sale in Game 2 and Game 5, as people were screaming about, we saw it as you’re getting a diminished Chris Sale twice at that point,” Weiss said. “We wanted to get a full-strength Chris Sale, and that’s Game 3.”

TICKETS AND PARKING

Postseason parking hours for Games 3 and 4 can be found at Braves.com/parkingtimes. The hours are subject to change.

The Braves say a limited number of standing room only tickets are available. Fans who don’t have tickets can still watch the game at the Battery on the Plaza Green.
