The Los Angeles Dodgers finished off the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series by completing a sweep behind an awe-inspiring performance by Shohei Ohtani.
After a relatively quiet postseason, Ohtani erupted in the Dodgers’ clinching win with three home runs. His first blast was a solo home run off Jose Quintana in the bottom of the first inning.
It came one year to the day that Ohtani hit a leadoff homer against Quintana, as he did so in last year’s NLCS when the southpaw was with the New York Mets. Ohtani’s first-inning home run traveled 446 feet and had a 116.
