Ohtani started Game 4 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Dodger Stadium on the 29th (Korea time) and allowed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to make a come-from-behind two-run shot in the top of the third inning with a 1-0 lead.
Ohtani passed the first and second innings without much difficulty, even though the rest such as sleep was relatively short due to the 18th overtime match and 6:39 p.m. the previous day.
In the top of the first inning, Ohtani got off to a clean start by catching leader Nathan Lucas on a fly to left field. Left fielder Kiké Hernández extended his glove to the stands with the fence.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. then struck out three pitches. He swung and missed on an 86.9-mile sweeper that flowed outside the third pitch on a two-strike.
Ohtani's batting average of 0.311 during the regular season is a brilliant bobby??He allowed a walk after a full-count battle with the team. He then allowed an infield hit to the third baseman, with two outs and runners on the first and second bases. However, he caught Alejandro Kirk with an 85.5-mile sweeper on a fly to the first baseman and ended the inning scoreless.
Ohtani finished the top of the second inning lightly with seven balls. He handled lead Dalton Basho with a fly ball to shortstop, Ernie Clement with a grounder to first base, and Andres Jimenez with a grounder to pitcher.
The Dodgers' batters scored the first run in the bottom of the second inning with Kiké Hernández's sacrifice fly to right field with one out and runners on the first and third bases, leading 1-0.

Guerrero's seventh home run this fall with a launch angle of 25 degrees, a batting speed of 102.5 miles and a driving distance of 395 feet.
It is Ohtani's first home run in the Major League Baseball postseason. However, Ohtani caught both subsequent hitters with a mistake and soon found stability.
'Batter' Ohtani took the batter's box in the bottom of the first inning, and Ohtani walked straight off Toronto right-hander Shane Bieber to get on base. The outside 90-mile changeup on the sixth pitch from the full count seemed to span the strike zone, but the hands of centripetal John Tompain did not go up.
Ohtani, who got on base for all nine at-bats the previous day, including two home runs, two doubles and five walks, continued his record of getting on base for 11 consecutive times after hitting right in the eighth inning of Game 2 on the 26th. However, he failed to advance further due to the failure of the follow-up.
At the bottom of the third inning, trailing 1-2, he was the leadoff hitter and struck out swinging. Bieber's 88.9-mile changeup struck out a foul tip.
