LOS ANGELES — Tommy Edman and Will Smith homered to send Shohei Ohtani into the World Series for the first time, and the Los Angeles Dodgers eliminated the New York Mets with a 10-5 victory in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday night.

The Dodgers clinched their record 25th NL pennant and first at home since 1988, when they beat the Mets in seven games. They moved on to their 22nd World Series — 13th in Los Angeles — and first since 2020, when they beat Tampa Bay during the pandemic-delayed season.

Next up for Ohtani & Co. is a matchup with Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, who are back in the World Series for the 41st time and first in 15 years.

Game 1 is Friday at Dodger Stadium, pitting Judge (58) and Ohtani (54) — MLB's top home run hitters this season. It'll be the 12th time the storied franchises meet in the World Series and the first in 43 years.

NEW YORK — Walker Buehler pitched five scoreless innings, Freddie Freeman belted a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers continued to act like the deeper, better, more sound team in this World Series, beating the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday night to take a commanding three-games-to-none lead. Now, to somehow win it all, the Yankees will have to become the second team ever — after the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 American League Championship Series — to win four consecutive games with their season on the line in a best-of-seven series.
