The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking down the barrel of a second straight series sweep when they face the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field Wednesday.
After newly reacquired catcher Ben Rortvedt got the start behind the plate on Tuesday, fellow once and current Dodger Hunter Feduccia will catch on Wednesday.
The Dodgers will need Feduccia and his teammates to produce some runs as they seek to snap a five-game losing streak, their longest of the season, following Tuesday’s loss.
Who is pitching for the Dodgers?
Eric Lauer will be on the mound for the Boys in Blue.
The lefty is 6-5 on the year, though his losses came when he was still a Toronto Blue Jay.

As a Dodger, his ERA is 2.96 and he has a WHIP of 0.987.
Who’s in the Dodgers lineup?
Manager Dave Roberts shuffled the batting order from Tuesday, though superstar Shohei Ohtani remains in the leadoff spot, center fielder Andy Pages is still second and first baseman Freddie Freeman is still hitting third.
Tommy Edman, who played second base on Tuesday, is in left field, subbing in for Teoscar Hernandez, who’s got a day off. Edman is also hitting cleanup.
Right fielder Kyle Tucker, who homered against his former team on Tuesday, is hitting fifth, and shortstop Mookie Betts is hitting sixth.
Third baseman Max Muncy is hitting seventh, and Miguel Rojas is taking Edman’s typical spot at second base and hitting eighth.
The catcher Feduccia rounds out the order.
