Dodgers Aim to Sweep Reds in Wild Card Series with Ohtani on Mound
The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium for Game 2 of their MLB Wild Card series on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. ESPN and Fubo will broadcast the game, with a start time of 9 p.m. ET. The Dodgers look to close out the series after winning Game 1 10-5.
Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers' two-way star, hit a leadoff homer in the first inning and a two-run drive in the sixth, showcasing his power at the plate. This game marks the fastest pitch Ohtani has homered on in his career, at 100.4 mph. Fans can catch the action on ESPN or stream it live on DirecTV (free trial), fuboTV (free trial), Hulu + Live TV, and Sling. If the series goes to a deciding Game 3 on Thursday, Ohtani is likely to start on the mound for the Dodgers.
With the Dodgers leading the series 2-0 after Game 2, the Reds face elimination. If the series extends to a third game, Ohtani's potential pitching start could prove pivotal. Fans can tune in to ESPN or stream the game on various platforms to witness the exciting conclusion of this Wild Card series.
