Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers and World Series
Digest more
And if you're curious, one pitcher in history has ever had a three-homer game in the regular season. It was Jim Tobin of the 1942 Braves. He went 3 for 4 with three homers and four RBI. He threw a complete game, too. He also allowed five runs (three earned), though.
In tossing six scoreless innings and hitting about 1,430 feet of home runs, Shohei Ohtani put up probably the most unique performance in postseason history Friday in NLCS Game 5 against the Brewers.

Shohei Ohtani has propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers back to the World Series with a two-way performance for the ages.
Shohei Ohtani once again proved to be the best player in MLB on Friday, closing out the National League Championship Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers in style.
He led off the game with a home run off Jose Quintana, but it did not stop there. He would go on to hit two more home runs, helping his club eliminate the Brew Crew. He is now the only player in MLB history to have 10 strikeouts and three home runs in the same game.
Shohei Ohtani homered three times and pitched six shutout innings with 10 strikeouts in maybe the best October performance ever as the Brewers are swept.
