"Shohei Ohtani was the leading man in their clinching win as electrified in what wound up being the finale of the National League Championship Series. Ohtani pitched six-plus innings and collected 10 strikeouts on the mound, and made MLB history by hitting three home runs. The three-homer game was Ohtani's second of his career. The first instance came in 2024, when he established MLB's 50-50 club with a record-setting performance against the Miami Marlins."
"After the Dodgers' 5-1 win and Ohtani being presented with his NLCS MVP trophy, he and the team went into the batting cage at Dodger Stadium for yet another beer and champagne celebration. Kiké Hernández, who aided Ohtani by turning a double play on his running catch in left field, was often at the center of the Dodgers' NLCS celebration as he danced while teammates showered him with beer."
"Hernández is due to pass Justin Turner for the Dodgers record of most postseason games played. While it's a feat he's humbled by, Hernández was among several Dodgers who marveled at what they just witnessed from Ohtani. So too did president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. "We can't comprehend just how special and unique this is," Friedman said. "It's one of one.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers to clinch a World Series berth for a second consecutive year and third time in six seasons. Shohei Ohtani pitched six-plus innings with 10 strikeouts and hit three home runs, recording the second three-homer game of his career after his 2024 50-50 club performance against the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers won 5-1, presented Ohtani with the NLCS MVP, and celebrated in the Dodger Stadium batting cage with beer and champagne. Kiké Hernández turned a key double play, danced during celebrations, and is set to pass Justin Turner for the Dodgers record of most postseason games played. Andrew Friedman called Ohtani's achievement "one of one." Game 1 of the World Series is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 24, with the venue depending on the American League champion.
