"Shohei Ohtani propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series with a two-way performance for the ages. Ohtani hit three mammoth homers and struck out 10 while pitching shutout ball into the seventh inning, and the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers out of the National League Championship Series with a 5-1 victory in Game 4 on Friday night."
"After striking out three in the top of the first inning, Ohtani hit the first leadoff homer by a pitcher in major league history off Brewers starter Jose Quintana. Ohtani followed with a 469-foot drive in the fourth, clearing a pavilion roof in right-center. He added a third solo shot in the seventh, becoming the 12th big league player to hit three homers in a postseason game. His three homers traveled a combined 1,342 feet."
Shohei Ohtani hit three mammoth home runs and struck out 10 while pitching shutout ball into the seventh inning, powering the Dodgers to a 5-1 victory that completed a four-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers and sent Los Angeles to the World Series. Ohtani's three homers traveled a combined 1,342 feet, including a historic leadoff shot — the first leadoff homer by a pitcher in major league history — and a 469-foot drive that cleared a pavilion roof. Ohtani allowed two hits before exiting after striking out double-digit batters, and was selected NLCS MVP on the strength of the performance.
