Dodgers beat Reds in playoff opener as Ohtani and Hernández both homer twice, Snell strikes out 9LOS ANGELES -- Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández hit two home runs apiece, Blake Snell struck out nine over seven strong innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-5 in their NL Wild Card Series opener Tuesday night.
Ohtani, who had a career-high 55 homers in the regular season, homered leading off the first.
His 117.7 mph drive off a 100.4 mph fastball from Reds ace Hunter Greene was the fastest pitch Ohtani has homered on in his major league career.
The Reds scored two runs in the seventh on Elly De La Cruz's groundout and Tyler Stephenson's double.
The right-hander, whose favorite team growing up was the Dodgers, struck out four and walked three.
