Blue Jays Defeat Dodgers 6-2 in World Series Game 4 Featuring Ohtani Start

Shohei Ohtani, the LA Dodgers' two-way superstar, took the loss in Game 4 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing four earned runs on six hits and a walk over six-plus innings while striking out six batters. Despite a strong start, he conceded a pivotal two-run home run to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., which shifted momentum to the Blue Jays. Ohtani expressed regret over that pitch but demonstrated resilience by pitching effectively through six innings after playing 18 innings as a designated hitter the previous day. His teammates and manager praised his performance and effort, emphasizing that the team's loss was not due to his pitching. Ohtani's postseason has been remarkable, with historic performances including a Game 4 NLCS showing where he hit three home runs and pitched six scoreless innings, solidifying his legacy as a unique talent in baseball history. His journey from doubted prospect to World Series standout underscores his extraordinary ability and determination.
