With a roaring Dodger Stadium behind him, Shohei Ohtani powered Los Angeles to a 5-1 win and a four-game NLCS sweep of the Brewers, launching three home runs — including the first leadoff homer by a pitcher in baseball history — and throwing six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. His blasts traveled 446, 469 and 427 feet. The Dodgers advanced to their second straight World Series and fifth in nine years, aiming for back-to-back titles beginning Oct. 24 against the Mariners or Blue Jays.
