Shohei Ohtani launched a three-run homer for the Los Angeles Dodgers that punctuated their 8-0 victory over the New York Mets in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday night.
UpdatedNEW YORK — By the time Shohei Ohtani stepped to the plate in the eighth inning, the Los Angeles Dodgers were already in control.Ohtani launched a late three-run homer and the Dodgers pulled away for an 8-0 victory over the New York Mets that gave them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Game 4 is Thursday night in Queens, with $325 million rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto scheduled to start for Los Angeles against veteran left-hander Jose Quintana. “It’s definitely a blessing. I can’t be thankful enough that I’ve had the opportunity to play enough games to be able to accrue those numbers,” Muncy said. “Thankful to be able to be on a team and an organization that gets to the postseason every single year.”
“Walker, he’s a different animal in the postseason. I don’t care what his regular-season numbers are, especially this year coming off the second Tommy John ,” Muncy said. “We all knew once we got into this setting he was going to be Walker Buehler, and he was definitely that tonight.” “This guy has proven year after year that when there’s a big game and the Dodgers need a win, he’s the right guy to be on the mound,” Hernández said.Mets starter Luis Severino fell behind 2-0 in the second, partly due to some shoddy fielding. He did not permit an earned run but threw 95 pitches and walked four in 4 2/3 innings, taking the loss.
The only recent blip for the pitching staff came Monday, when Lindor hit a leadoff homer and the Mets won 7-3 at Chavez Ravine.
