Shohei Ohtani‘s first trip to the playoffs has been a pretty big success so far.
After hitting a monster three-run home run in the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ Game 3 NLCS win on Wednesday night, he wasted no time in starting Game 4 with a leadoff home run on the second pitch of the game.
That is one of the benefits of having the best player in baseball hitting at the top of your lineup.
On any given night, you can start off with a 1-0 lead just two pitches into the game.
The Mets responded in the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run of their own to tie the game when Mark Vientos hit his fourth home run of the playoffs.
