After moving Shohei Ohtani down in their batting order during his injury-hampered slump this postseason, the Dodgers reversed course with their season on the line in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series.

For the first time this October, Ohtani returned to his customary leadoff spot in the lineup.

The move comes with the Dodgers facing a three-games-to-none deficit against the Milwaukee Brewers –– and in spite of Ohtani’s .182 batting average (4-for-22) in these playoffs, in which he has also failed to record an extra-base hit or an RBI.

Previously, those struggles saw him drop to the two-hole, then the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 spots in the previous four games.

But now, he will spearhead their offense once again, with the Dodgers elect to ride-or-die with the four-time MVP at the top of their lineup.

Here is the Dodgers’ full lineup for Game 4:

1. Shohei Ohtani, DH

2. Mookie Betts, SS

3. Freddie Freeman, 1B

4. Will Smith, C

5. Kyle Tucker, RF

6. Teoscar Hernández, LF

7. Miguel Rojas, 2B

8. Andy Pages, CF

9. Kiké Hernández, 3B
