Brewers, Shohei Ohtani and Los Angeles Dodgers
Digest more
And if you're curious, one pitcher in history has ever had a three-homer game in the regular season. It was Jim Tobin of the 1942 Braves. He went 3 for 4 with three homers and four RBI. He threw a complete game, too. He also allowed five runs (three earned), though.
Shohei Ohtani has propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series with a two-way performance for the ages
He led off the game with a home run off Jose Quintana, but it did not stop there. He would go on to hit two more home runs, helping his club eliminate the Brew Crew. He is now the only player in MLB history to have 10 strikeouts and three home runs in the same game.
After batting just .056 against the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series, Ohtani is batting just .143 with three strikeouts so far against the Brewers. Though Ohtani’s slump has been notable, the Dodgers have been able to overcome it with contributions from several other members of their star-studded batting order.
Dave Roberts has found a way to navigate the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen struggles by leaning heavily on starting pitching.
The Milwaukee Brewers trail the Los Angeles Dodgers two games to none, and the scariest part may be that LA's best player hasn't gotten going yet. Shohei Ohtani
The soon-to-be four-time MVP has looked shockingly human. But he's still had his moments for the Death Star Dodgers, who just keep rolling.
On Friday, Shohei Ohtani put the exclamation point of exclamation points on the Los Angeles Dodgers' sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS, striking out 10 in six shutout innings on the mound and blasting three home runs at the plate in Game 4.
