(Ashley Landis / Associated Press)SAN DIEGO — The Dodgers lost Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, but they avoided losing their star shortstop for Game 4 on Saturday night. X-rays on the finger were negative, but his availability for Game 4 depended on the pain. Roberts gave Turner the option to start as the designated hitter, but he told Roberts he wanted to play shortstop. He led off the eighth inning with a single, but he was left stranded as the Dodgers’ woes with runners in scoring position continued.
