NEW YORK (AP) — Fresh off another October blowout, Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers are one win from the World Series.
Ohtani hit a leadoff homer and scored four times, Mookie Betts also went deep and drove in four runs, and the Dodgers routed the New York Mets 10-2 on Thursday night for a 3-1 lead in their lopsided National League Championship Series.
“I love the way that our guys haven’t let off the gas,” manager Dave Roberts said. “We don’t want to give these guys any momentum.”
Betts had a two-run homer and a two-run double among his four hits. Max Muncy extended his streak of reaching base safely to 12 plate appearances, a postseason record, and the Dodgers closed in on their 25th pennant — most in NL history.
