Mookie Betts finishes with four hits, including a two-run home run, and Tommy Edman drives in three runs as the Dodgers defeat Mets 10-2 to take a 3-1 NLCS lead.
When the Dodgers dug into their lineup’s postseason problems at the end of last year, they noticed a strange October-wide trend. Teams that swung freely seemed to advance more often in the playoffs, while more disciplined clubs like the Dodgers tended to flame out. It was an observation that stuck with some Dodgers hitters, third baseman Max Muncy among them, over another long winter last year.
Ohtani ambushed him in the game’s first at-bat, whacking the second throw he saw –– a cutter down the middle –– into the Mets bullpen for his third postseason home run. From there, though, the Dodgers took pitches and worked counts . They manufactured two runs in the second, then two more in the third. And, coupled with a two-run, 4 ⅓ inning start from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, they handed a comfortable 5-2 lead off to their bullpen.
