Having watched his left-handed batters go 15-for-41 with five homers and 14 RBIs against the Dodgers’ left-handed pitching in the National League Division Series, manager Mike Matheny was unhesitant to include four left-handed batters in the starting lineup against Giants starter Madison Bumgarner in Game 1 of the NL Championship Series on Saturday.
