"Ohtani, who was making his first start on the mound in the NLCS, walked the leadoff hitter, but after that, he settled in quickly and struck out the next three hitters. He then went to the plate as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter, and put them up 1-0 by crushing a baseball 446 feet at 116.5 mph. The Dodgers' offense continued to put stress on the Brewers as Mookie Betts and Will Smith followed with singles."
"On the mound, Ohtani finished his outing by going 6+ innings, allowing no runs on just two hits with 10 strikeouts to three walks. In addition to his leadoff homer, Ohtani blasted his second of the game in the fourth inning, and this time the ball traveled even further, traveling 469 feet at 116.9 mph and nearly leaving the right field pavilion."
Shohei Ohtani delivered a dominant two-way performance, pitching six-plus scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts while allowing two hits and three walks.

The Dodgers extended the lead with singles from Mookie Betts and Will Smith, an RBI single from Tommy Edman, and a run-scoring groundout by Teoscar Hernández. Ohtani hit a second homer of 469 feet in the fourth and helped preserve the lead through seven innings. Ohtani became the first player to hit three postseason homers and record 10 strikeouts in the same game.
