Dodgers 10, Mets 2<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> took a pivotal Game Four of the NLCS, blowing out the New York Mets<\/a> and shutting down the hopes in the middle innings on Thursday. It all started with Shohei Ohtani<\/strong><\/a>‘s leadoff home run to take advantage in Game Four. Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> <\/strong>did what he needed to for the Dodgers, while Jose Quintana<\/a><\/strong> struggled against the high-powered top of the lineup. The two foes will play the final game at Citi Field in the NLCS on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mets Manager Carlos Mendoza<\/strong><\/a> spoke on the difficulties facing the Dodgers lineup,\u00a0“That’s what makes that team such a good team. It’s not only Ohtani, it’s Mookie and Teoscar and it’s Freddie, even though he wasn’t there and the bottom of the lineup. And you’ve got Muncy there, too, and Kik\u00e9 doing things that Kik\u00e9 does this time of the year.”<\/p>\n

Shohei Ohtani spoke on the mental approach going into a World Series appearance at their grasp, “I’m really just focused on playing a really good game tomorrow. Even though we’re in an away situation, I just want to really focus on winning the game tomorrow and playing a really good game as a team.”<\/p>\n
