The Dodgers' weekend sweep of the Braves was a fair predictor of an entirely different sort of October, one with slugging star Shohei Ohtani.
New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and several players put Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays into perspective.
Shohei Ohtani homers twice, giving him three in two games, as the surging Dodgers complete a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves.
Ohtani tagged Braves ace Max Fried for a two-run shot in the first inning then hit a solo shot in the eighth as the Dodgers prevailed in a battle of NL favorites.
