Dodgers NLCS Celebration Highlights: Shohei Ohtani, Enrique Hernández, Mookie Betts, Hyeseong Kim & Dave Roberts’ Speech

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers to secure their spot in the World Series for a second consecutive year and third time in the past six seasons.

Shohei Ohtani was the leading man in their clinching win as electrified in what wound up being the finale of the National League Championship Series. Ohtani pitched six-plus innings and collected 10 strikeouts on the mound, and made MLB history by hitting three home runs.

The three-homer game was Ohtani’s second of his career. The first instance came in 2024, when he established MLB’s 50-50 club with a record-setting performance against the Miami Marlins.

After the Dodgers’ 5-1 win and Ohtani being presented with his NLCS MVP trophy, he and the team went into the batting cage at Dodger Stadium for yet another beer and champagne celebration.

Enrique Hernández, who aided Ohtani by turning a double play on his running catch in left field, was often at the center of the Dodgers’ NLCS celebration as he danced while teammates showered him with beer.

Hernández is due to pass Justin Turner for the Dodgers record of most postseason games played. While it’s a feat he’s humbled by, Hernández was among several Dodgers who marveled at what they just witnessed from Ohtani. So too did president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.

“We can’t comprehend just how special and unique this is,” Friedman said. “It’s one of one.”
