The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers to secure their spot in the World Series for a second consecutive year and third time in the past six seasons.
Shohei Ohtani was the leading man in their clinching win as electrified in what wound up being the finale of the National League Championship Series. Ohtani pitched six-plus innings and collected 10 strikeouts on the mound, and made MLB history by hitting three home runs.
The three-homer game was Ohtani’s second of his career. The first instance came in 2024, when he established MLB’s 50-50 club with a record-setting performance against the Miami Marlins.
