Overview

• Los Angeles completed an NLCS sweep with a 5-1 Game 4 win over the Brewers at Dodger Stadium, powered by Ohtani’s three home runs and six scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts.
• One of Ohtani’s blasts was described as among the longest seen at Chavez Ravine, drawing stunned reactions from teammates and observers.
• Analysts are comparing the performance to Rick Wise’s 1971 no-hitter with two homers and Tony Cloninger’s two–grand slam complete game, noting the added weight of a pennant clincher in the universal DH era.
• In the ALCS, Eugenio Suárez hit a late grand slam in Game 5 to beat the Blue Jays, giving Seattle a 3-2 series lead and leaving the Mariners one win from their first World Series berth in Toronto.
• ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Giants are targeting Tennessee coach Tony Vitello to replace Bob Melvin as manager, with a decision expected by Monday.
