Right-hander Walker Buehler will start Game 3 of the World Series for the Dodgers.

Manager Dave Roberts made the announcement before Game 2 on Saturday for the Dodgers, who won the series opener 6-3 on Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning.

Game 3 will be at Yankee Stadium on Monday night.

“We just love Walker in big games,” Roberts said. “The road isn’t going to faze him. It also allows him potentially to be available for a Game 7, too.”
