A dream match has been made. LA Dodgers Shohei Ohtani and New York Yankees Aaron Judge will face off in the World Series.
The Dodgers won 10-5 in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series (NLCS) at Dodger Stadium on the 21st (Korea time) with a hard hit by Korean Tommy Edman and an effective bullpen day.
The Dodgers, who reached the World Series for the 22nd time with four wins and two losses in the series, will face off against the prestigious American League (AL) Yankees for the world champion for the first time in 43 years starting on the 26th. The Dodgers have the advantage to host the first, second, sixth, and seventh games. The Dodgers, who reached the World Series in four years since 2020, will challenge their eighth career championship, and the Yankees, who have reached the World Series in 15 years since 2009, will challenge their 28th career championship.
Edman, a Korean-American who played under the Korean national flag in the WBC last year, played as a cleanup hitter and hit two hits and four RBIs, including a home run, to become the leading contributor to the victory. Edman played in all six games of the NLCS, and was named the MVP of the series, marking a batting average of 0.407 (11 hits in 27 times at bat), one homerun, 11 RBIs, four runs scored, and an OPS of 1.023.
The Dodgers activated seven bullpen pitchers, including Michael Kopech, who took the mound as an opener, Ben Casparius, Anthony Banda, Ryan Brazier, Evan Phillips, Daniel Hudson, and Blake Trinen, tying the Mets' lineup to 11 hits and five runs.
The Mets got the first run. After the first Francisco Lindor walked in the top of the first inning, Dodgers starter Kopek threw a wild pitch and Brandon Nimmo grounded out to second base to advance to third base, and Pete Alonso's missed pitch fell behind the pitcher and second baseman Chris Taylor hit a rough throw to first base.
However, the Dodgers turned the tables immediately in the bottom of the first inning. Leading pitcher Ohtani hit Mets left-hander Sean Munnaia's 5th pitch and outside sinker for 92.1 miles to center field to open the scoring.
Mookie Betts struck out swinging and Teoscar Hernandez, who entered the batter's box, hit a hit that hit the fence in the middle, leading to the opportunity with one out and runners on the first and third bases. Edman then pulled the sweeper outside the faraway sixth pitch of 78.6 miles and hit a double that flowed to the left fence, bringing in both players and turning the tide 2-1.
After overcoming the bases-loaded crisis in the top of the third inning, the Dodgers ran by five runs with two home runs in the bottom of the third inning.
Following the first-runner Teoscar's right-handed hit, Edman shot a two-run shot to center-left to widen the gap to 4-1. In the 1B2S, Edman drew an arch that far exceeded the left fence by pulling a high fastball in the middle of his 5th 91.3 miles. With a shooting angle of 31 degrees, a batting speed of 104.1 miles and a flying distance of 406 feet, Edman's first home run of the post season.
The Dodgers went on to steal second base after Max Muncy walked to load the bases, and Will Smith hit a two-run homer in the middle to widen the gap to 6-1. Smith hit a sinker in the middle of Phil Maiton's 89.1 miles to well over the center fence. Smith's second arch this fall.
However, the Mets' pursuit was not easy. Mark Vientos' two-run shot at the top of the fourth inning narrowed the gap to 3-6. After the first baseman Francisco Alvarez Jr. hit a critical hit, Vientos hit Brazier's second low slider at the second pitch to center field. 먹튀검증
The Mets also had a chance to catch up in the top of the sixth inning, but failed to score an additional run. Leading Alvarez's left-handed hit and Vientos and Alonso drew back-to-back walks after two outs, creating a chance to load the bases. However, the inning ended as Jesse Winker hit a fly that missed the left field. It can be said that the Dodgers took the lead when Phillips blocked it scoreless in the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Dodgers had a chance to get the first and second bases with no outs thanks to a walk by the first-runner Smith and a bunt fielder's choice by Taylor. Ohtani then hit a 98.4-mile fastball from Line Stanek at the full count, hitting a heavy hit, and calling Smith home to widen the gap to 7-3.
The Mets narrowed the gap again to three runs in the top of the seventh inning with a sacrifice fly by Alvarez with one out and runners on the first and third bases, but the Dodgers sealed the game in the bottom of the eighth inning with Taylor's hit, Betts' left double on the first and second bases with Ohtani's walk, and Kike Hernandez's right-handed hit with two outs and runners on the first and second bases.
The Dodgers led the offense with the top lineup, with Ohtani scoring 2 hits, 1 RBI and 2 runs in 4 at-bats, Betts 1 hit and 1 RBI in 4 at-bats, Teoscar scoring 2 hits, 2 RBIs and 2 runs in 4 at-bats.
On the other hand, it became a difficult game for the Mets as starter Munaia collapsed with six hits, two walks and five runs in two innings.
