In a stunning display of two-way dominance, Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani delivered an unforgettable performance in Game 4 of the 2025 National League Championship Series (NLCS), propelling his team to a 5-1 victory and a sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Ohtani smashed three home runs while pitching six scoreless innings and striking out 10 Brewers batters, earning the win and posting a record-breaking Game Score of 111 — the highest in MLB postseason history.
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy, gracious in defeat, showered praise on Ohtani during the postgame press conference.
"We were part of tonight an iconic, maybe the best individual performance ever, in a Postseason game. I don't think anybody can argue with that."
