Shohei Ohtani Snaps HR Drought But Dodgers Swept in NLCS

Shohei Ohtani hit a 3-run homer in NLCS Game 4 to snap a 115 plate-appearance drought, but the Dodgers fell 6-4 to the Brewers, suffering a sweep. Playing through knee and biceps injuries after attempting to pitch and hit full-time, Ohtani batted .192 in the postseason. Despite the elimination, he plans to pitch in 2027, though his offseason surgery status remains uncertain as Los Angeles faces a roster reckoning.
