In his first ever pitching appearance in the playoffs, Shohei Ohtani absolutely showed up for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In Game 1 of the National League Divisional Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, Ohtani posed a quality start en route to a win -- the two-way superstar went 6.0 innings, posted a 9:1 K:BB, allowed 3 runs and 3 hits.
It's a good thing Ohtani is pitching this playoffs because his bat has gone silent for the second straight Dodgers playoff run...not that it matters, of course.

During the Dodgers' playoff run last year, Ohtani did not look his normal self.
