NEW YORK — Enrique Hernandez and Shohei Ohtani hit multi-run homers to provide the Los Angeles Dodgers insurance in an 8-0 win over the New York Mets on Wednesday in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.
Hernandez belted a two-run shot in the sixth inning and Ohtani added a majestic three-run blast in the eighth for the Dodgers, who lead the best-of-seven series 2-1. Game 4 is scheduled for Thursday night in New York.
The Dodgers hit just one ball into the outfield — a sacrifice fly — while scoring two runs off Luis Severino (1-1) in the second inning. Los Angeles left five runners on base over the next three innings before mounting a two-out rally against Reed Garrett in the sixth.
Tommy Edman singled and went to second on a balk before Hernandez homered just beyond the reach of a leaping Brandon Nimmo in left field. — Reuters
