The Los Angeles Dodgers made quick work of the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. Now, the Philadelphia Phillies stand in their way. The Dodgers will send Shohei Ohtani to the mound for Game 1 — marking his first time pitching in the postseason.

Ohtani's nine strikeouts were the third most by a Dodger in a first career postseason outing, behind only Don Newcombe (11 in 1949 World Series Game 1) and Tim Belcher (10 in 1988 NLCS Game 2).
