With three towering homers and 10 strikeouts, Shohei Ohtani carried the Dodgers to a 5-1 Game 4 win over the Brewers, completing an NLCS sweep and sending Los Angeles back to the World Series. Ohtani pitched shutout ball into the seventh and became the 12th player with three homers in a postseason game, earning NLCS MVP honors. The Dodgers claimed back-to-back pennants and will rest a week before the Series starts Friday, either in Toronto or at Dodger Stadium against Seattle. “Probably the greatest postseason performance of all time,” manager Dave Roberts said, as Dodger Stadium shook.
