  "account": "Shohei Ohtani's potential resurgence was not enough as the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered an unthinkable 6-4 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series. Despite Ohtani's powerful home run in the second inning, the Dodgers' offense struggled, particularly when runners were in scoring position. The team's age, fatigue, and lack of sharp pitching were major factors in their defeat. Ohtani's performance came too late to salvage the game, as the Brewers went on to sweep the series three games to zero.",
  "summary": "The back-to-back champs exited the 2026 season an incomprehensibly woeful 5-for-43 with runners in scoring position in the playoffs.",
