Shohei Ohtani toed the rubber on the game's biggest stage for the first time Saturday night. Ohtani made his postseason pitching debut in the Dodgers' 5-3 Game 1 win over the Phillies in the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park ( GameTracker ) and pitched well, better than his three runs in six innings may lead you to believe. It was a classic "One Bad Inning" start for the Los Angeles Dodgers star.

An Alec Bohm walk and a Brandon Marsh single set J.T. Realmuto up for the two-run triple that opened the scoring in the second inning of Game 1. Right fielder Teoscar Hernández , a below-average defender, did a pretty terrible job cutting this ball off in the gap, allowing Realmuto to get to third base. He scored two batters later on Harrison Bader's sacrifice fly.
