The Dodgers have named Zack Greinke the starter for Friday's Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
Greinke took the loss in Game 2 of the divisional-series round against the Braves after giving up two earned runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. His opponent will be either the Pirates or Cardinals, the latter of which scored 11 runs (eight earned) in 11 2/3 innings over two starts in the 2011 NLCS when Greinke was a member of the Brewers.
