Dodgers Win Second Straight NL Pennant with Sweep of Brewers<\/h2>\n
Backed by one of the best rotations in baseball, the Dodgers\u2019 pitching staff was nearly untouchable throughout the series, holding Milwaukee to just four total runs across four games. Every starter executed with precision, keeping the Brewers\u2019 typically scrappy and patient lineup off-balance. The bullpen, which has been a question mark, slammed the door in each contest, underscoring the complete nature of Los Angeles\u2019 performance, even with the shakiness of Game One.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tonight\u2019s game belonged to their two-way superstar, Shohei Ohtani<\/a>, who once again showed why he\u2019s worth every penny of his record-setting contract. On the mound<\/a>, Ohtani was brilliant\u2014allowing just two hits over six plus dominant innings while striking out 10. His execution of his splitter tonight was perfect, making for the perfect swing-and-miss pitch.<\/div>\n
