"Ohtani lasted into the seventh inning despite needing medical attention into the early morning that same day (the IVs were administered after midnight). Ohtani didn't do interviews following his historic Game 3, when he reached base nine times out of nine before cramping up late, and it was first thought he'd left early to catch up on sleep. But he was witnessed being hustled out by Dodgers security past about 1 a.m. local time"
"In World Series Game 3, the 18-inning thriller which became an instant classic, Ohtani went 4-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, two doubles and three runs batted in. Only 17 hours after Freddie Freeman's walk-off homer that gave the Dodgers a 6-5 victory Monday night, Ohtani was tasked with taking the mound in Game 4. The Dodgers were clearly heavily impacted by the 18-inning battle the game prior, and Ohtani wasn't exempt."
Shohei Ohtani received IVs after Game 3 of the World Series, administered after midnight, following an exhausting 18-inning performance. Ohtani went 4-for-4 in Game 3 with two home runs, two doubles and three RBIs, and reached base nine times before cramping late. He skipped postgame interviews and was seen leaving the stadium with trainers and security around 1 a.m. Less than 24 hours later he was scheduled to start Game 4. The Dodgers were visibly affected by the prior game's length, and the club expected to rely on all available players for the remaining games.
