— Shohei Ohtani homered against Jose Quintana leading off Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday night, putting the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the New York Mets.
Ohtani took Quintana’s first pitch for a ball, then drove a sinker over the middle of the plate 422 feet into the Mets’ bullpen in right-center field for his third postseason homer.
This one gave Ohtani home runs on consecutive swings, after his three-run shot off Tylor Megill in the eighth inning of the Dodgers’ 8-0 win Wednesday night helped give Los Angeles a 2-1 series lead.
