Welcome to the MLB Playoffs, Shohei Ohtani.

In his second career postseason at-bat, the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar crushed a two-out, three-run home run to tie the game against the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the NLDS. Dodger Stadium was happy, to say the least.

Ohtani was also quite happy.

Ohtani flew to left field in his first career postseason at-bat.

The home run was just the lift the Dodgers needed after a nightmare first inning for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. In his fifth start since returning from a rotator cuff injury in September, Yamamoto allowed three runs in the first inning, two of them on a home run by Manny Machado.

All eyes were on Ohtani when the playoffs began, especially after the $700 million man finished the regular season hitting .628/.667/1.186 with six home runs, six doubles, 10 stolen bases, 15 runs and 20 RBI in his last 10 games.

We call Saturday a good start for him in October.
