This win completed a four-game sweep and sent the Dodgers to their second straight World Series. Ohtani was simply unstoppable. On the mound, he pitched six perfect scoreless innings, striking out 10 batters and allowing just two hits. But that was not all! At the plate, Ohtani blasted not one, not two, but three solo home runs—in the 1st, 4th, and 7th innings. His second homer soared 469 feet, smashing the Dodger Stadium roof and thrilling the crowd. This feat made history! Shohei Ohtani became the first Major League Baseball pitcher ever to hit a leadoff home run in any regular or post-season game. What a masterclass in both pitching and hitting! Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called Ohtani's game "probably the greatest postseason performance of all time." Even the Brewers' manager Pat Murphy recognized the extraordinary impact of Ohtani's play. Fans, players, and commentators around the globe showered praise on Ohtani’s one-of-a-kind skills. The Dodgers now prepare to face the winner between the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
