Shohei Ohtani Fans 9 in MLB Playoff Pitching Debut as Dodgers Rally Past Phillies

Making his MLB playoff pitching debut, Ohtani struck out nine in six innings, settling after a shaky second that put Los Angeles down 3–0. He blanked Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber and wore a sombrero at the plate. The Dodgers rallied behind a Kiké Hernández double and Teoscar Hernández’s three-run homer to win 5–3, positioning L.A. for Games 2–3.
