Hernández and Muncey also hit home runs
The Major League Baseball (MLB) Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Mets thanks to key hitter Shohei Ohtani’s home run and excellent pitching from the pitching staff.
The Dodgers defeated the Mets 8-0 in Game 3 of the 2024 MLB Postseason (PS) National League Division Series (NLCS, best-of-seven series) held at Citi Field in New York, USA on the 17th (Korean time).
The Dodgers, who won 9-0 in Game 1 and lost 3-7 in Game 2, won a complete game on this day and regained the lead in the series with 2 wins and 1 loss. If they add two wins in the remaining games, the Dodgers will advance to the World Series (WS, best of 7 games) for the first time in four years since 2020.
The Mets, who are aiming for the WS stage for the first time in 9 years, suffered a helpless loss as the batting lineup was unable to break the silence.
Dodgers’ Ohtani contributed to the team’s victory by hitting a three-run home run. This is the second home run hit in the postseason this year.
Dodgers Enrique Hernández and Max Muncy added their strength by hitting a 2-run home run and a 1-run home run, respectively.
The Dodgers scored the first run in the top of the second inning.
With one out and 2nd and 3rd bases on base, Will Smith made a 1-RBI infield hit, and then the follow-up hitter, Tommy Edman, hit a 1-RBI sacrifice fly.
In the top of the sixth inning, with two outs and a scoring opportunity on second base, Hernández drew a two-run arch that went over the left field fence.
The Dodgers, ahead 4-0, showed off their firepower in the second half of the game.
In the top of the 8th inning, with one out and runners on 1st and 2nd base, Ohtani hit a large ball that landed at the top of the stands on the right, hitting a three-run home run.
In the top of the 9th inning, leadoff hitter Muncy hit a 1-run home run to help score.
Game 4 between the Dodgers and Mets will be held at the same location on the 18th.
