Max Muncy became the new Los Angeles Dodgers postseason home run leader with his blast in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. That gave Muncy a total of 14 career home runs in the playoffs. Muncy had been tied with Corey Seager and Justin Turner for the all-time Dodgers home run record in the postseason at 13 each. Muncy hit his 13th career postseason home run during Dodgers' blowout win against the New York Mets in Game 3.

Polanco's three-run homer off Louis Varland put Seattle back ahead 6-3 in the fifth. J.P Crawford added an RBI single in the sixth and Naylor had a two-run homer in the seventh against Braydon Fisher. Six of Polanco's first seven hits this postseason drove in runs. He had the game-ending single in the 15th inning of Friday's Division Series clincher against Detroit and went 2 for 4 with two RBIs in Seattle's 3-1 opening ALCS win.

"I mean, when I hit it, I know it's a home run. I didn't even see where it landed. I was looking in the dugout trying to get the guys going, get back in the dugout, everyone is high-fiving. I knew I hit it good. I didn't know where it went. Eventually somebody tells me, you watch it on video where it goes. I was just more focused on our guys there. I don't care."

A dominant 10-5 win on Tuesday night started off with a bang (literally) as superstar Shohei Ohtani demolished the third pitch he saw 117.7 mph off his bat to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. The 100.4 mph offering from Reds right-hander Hunter Greene was no match for the three-time (and soon-to-be four-time) MVP. The fireworks continued as Teoscar Hernández launched a three-run shot in the bottom of the third inning to increase the lead to four.
