"Game 4 was the Shohei Ohtani show, as he was the Dodgers' starting pitcher and leadoff hitter. In the top of the first inning, Ohtani gave up a leadoff walk before settling in and striking out the next three batters. He threw two pitches over 100 mph in the inning. Ohtani then led off the bottom of the first, working a full count before crushing a ball a whopping 446 feet to right field to give LA a 1-0 lead."
"With the home run, Ohtani made tons of history. He became the first pitcher in Dodgers franchise history to hit a postseason home run. He also became the first pitcher in MLB history to hit a leadoff home run. The Dodgers offense didn't stop there, as Mookie Betts and Will Smith hit back-to-back singles. Two batters later, Tommy Edman hit an RBI single, and Teoscar Hernandez followed with an RBI groundout to give LA a quick 3-0 lead."
