"A dominant 10-5 win on Tuesday night started off with a bang (literally) as superstar Shohei Ohtani demolished the third pitch he saw 117.7 mph off his bat to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. The 100.4 mph offering from Reds right-hander Hunter Greene was no match for the three-time (and soon-to-be four-time) MVP. The fireworks continued as Teoscar Hernández launched a three-run shot in the bottom of the third inning to increase the lead to four."
"Before the sixth inning was over, Ohtani once again hammered a ball deep, this one a two-run home run to further extend the Dodgers lead. This time, the ball travelled 454 feet at 113.5 mph to make the score, 8-0, and to tie a Dodgers franchise record for home runs in a postseason game. Two-time Cy Young award winner punched out nine over seven innings of work. He allowed just four hits, one walk, and two earned runs on the way to his impressive outing."
