Those watching the game at home were mesmerized by the dinger, baseball great Roger Clemens among them.

Clemens had a two-word reaction to the shot on X.

"Good grief," he wrote.

Ohtani was 1-for-4 with three RBI and a strikeout. It was his second home run of the series.

"It’s definitely a blessing. I can’t be thankful enough that I’ve had the opportunity to play enough games to be able to accrue those numbers," said Max Muncy, who hit another homer in the ninth.

The Dodgers got the job done behind four innings from Walker Buehler, who struck out six batters. Michael Kopech, Ryan Brasier, Blaker Treinen and Ben Casparius finished out the latter innings. Los Angeles shut out New York for the second time in the series.

Los Angeles tagged Mets starter Luis Severino for two runs – none of them earned – in 4 2/3 innings. Then, the team pounded on Reed Garrett and Tylor Megill.

"We got beat 9-0 the first game, then we came back and won Game 2. I don’t see why we can’t come back and do that tomorrow," Garrett said after the game.

Game 4 is set for Thursday night at 8:08 p.m. ET.
