On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series, with Shohei Ohtani closing out the series with a sublime individual explosion in Game 4.
Ohtani hit three home runs in Game 4, a game in which he also pitched six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts, the best individual performance in baseball history, to cement his NLCS MVP award.
Dodgers pitching – Ohtani included – was the other main story of the NLCS, allowing a single run in all four games, and five straight games dating back to the Division Series. The Dodgers set franchise records with four runs and only 14 hits allowed in a postseason series.
