UPDATE: In a stunning display of talent, Shohei Ohtani has made MLB history by hitting three home runs and pitching six scoreless innings, propelling the Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series! Just moments ago, the Dodgers completed a dramatic 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the NL Championship Series, achieving a clean sweep.
Ohtani’s extraordinary performance is unprecedented; he is now the only player in league history to hit multiple home runs in a game while also pitching. This milestone was reached with a second homer in the fourth inning, followed by a third in the seventh. He dominated on the mound, striking out 10 batters and ensuring a shutout over six innings.
Before this historic night, only 12 players had hit three home runs in a postseason game, and just 26 pitchers had struck out at least 10 batters without allowing a run. Ohtani now stands unique, accomplishing both feats in the same game, earning praise as one of the greatest performances in baseball history.
Social media is buzzing with reactions, with fans and analysts alike lauding Ohtani’s unrivaled combination of pitching and hitting prowess. Major outlets like ESPN and MLB Network highlighted this remarkable showcase, further solidifying his legendary status.
This victory marks a significant milestone for the Dodgers, as they become the first team to win back-to-back pennants since the Philadelphia Phillies in 2009. Los Angeles is headed to the World Series for the fifth time in nine seasons, aiming to make history as the first team to repeat as champions since the New York Yankees achieved three consecutive titles from 1998 to 2000.
The Dodgers will enjoy a well-deserved week off before the World Series begins next Friday, either in Toronto or at home against Seattle. The Mariners are currently leading their AL Championship Series against the Blue Jays 3-2 after a 6-2 victory earlier today.
