MLB, Ohtani and Brewers
Digest more
The Blue Jays ensured they wouldn’t be steamrolled in this ALCS thanks to a 13-4 trouncing of the Seattle Mariners in Game 3. Now, a night later, they can complete the comeback from a 2-0 hole and square the series, ensuring a Game 6 in Toronto.
Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers captured the National League pennant and finished a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night, winning NLCS Game 4, 5-1. It's the Dodgers' fifth NL pennant since 2017, and it came as Ohtani delivered the best individual performance in MLB playoff history.
Don’t look now, but the Blue Jays are back in the driver’s seat. Here are four takeaways from Game 4 of the ALCS.
It's a Game 1 rerun, at least on paper, as No. 5 starter Bryce Miller starts for Seattle, opposed by Toronto ace Kevin Gausman. Miller was able to break serve in a 3-1 Game 1 victory, though the Blue Jays' 29-hit eruption in Games 3 and 4 and means the Mariners' bullpen is more taxed coming in.
