"While it's exceedingly rare for a team to blow a 3-0 series lead, it's obviously preferable for the Dodgers to end the NLCS as soon as possible to prevent the Brewers from getting any life. Well, they certainly didn't thanks in large part to starting pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, who probably had one of the greatest playoff games of all time."
"He went six shutout innings and broke out of whatever struggles he was having with three homers, including one hit out of the stadium. All you can do is laugh. The bullpen did manage to make it a bit exciting towards the end, but really Ohtani was just too much as they clinched it with a 5-1 victory. What a view."
Shohei Ohtani pitched six shutout innings and hit three home runs, including a blast out of the stadium, powering the Dodgers to a 5-1 NLCS clinching victory. The Dodgers scored early when Ohtani homered off Jose Quintana, followed by Mookie Betts singles and a Tommy Edman single that produced runs. Teoscar Hernandez grounded out to score a run, extending the lead. The Brewers' bullpen made the finish nervy, but the Dodgers preserved the lead. Broadcasts featured frequent scenic shots of the ballpark. The win prevented the Brewers from mounting a comeback and ended the series.
