Shohei Ohtani was the star of the show. He reached base on all nine plate appearances, including being intentionally walked five times.

The most insane thing of all is that Game 4's starting pitcher reached base nine times. And was intentionally walked four times. Or maybe the most insane thing is that over the course of seven at-bats at Dodger Stadium Ohtani hit five homers and had two doubles.

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

This rule alteration allows a team to leave a departed pitcher in as the DH for the remainder of the game. So when Ohtani leaves the mound, he essentially morphs from a pitcher in the batting order to just a designated hitter in the batting order. The Dodgers won't have to let their relief pitchers hit. Ohtani will hit for them.
