Ohtani, a three-time Most Valuable Player, opened the scoring with a home run in the first inning against a 100.4 mph fastball from Hunter Greene, this being the fastest pitch he has homered off in his career. Later, in the sixth inning, he hit another one out of the park with a tremendous hit of 454 feet, tied for the 11th longest home run in the postseason since Statcast began tracking (2015).
The Japanese player continues to write his history with the Dodgers: in just two years with the franchise, he has already accumulated the 16 most solid connections measured by Statcast on the Los Angeles team. In addition, he reached five home runs in his postseason career.

Téoscar Hernández also ignited the fanbase with his power, punishing Greene with a home run in the third inning, in a rally that included consecutive home runs with Tommy Edman and produced four runs. Later, he disappeared it again to extend the angelic advantage.
