The Los Angeles Dodgers have a 3-1 lead in the NLCS after a show of force in Game 4, with their offense knocking around the New York Mets pitching staff early and often in a 10-2 win.
Shohei Ohtani provided a sign of things to come with a leadoff homer in the first inning, his first all postseason with the bases empty. The Dodgers added multiple runs to their lead in the third inning, then the fourth inning, then the sixth inning, then the eighth inning. Their offense was relentless and exacting, drawing nine walks, plus a hit-by-pitch from a Mets staff that could be starting to feel the short starts from their rotation.
