A win-or-go-home Game 5 of the National League Division Series that featured starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Yoshinobu Yamamoto — and, of course, slugger Shohei Ohtani — became Japan’s most-watched Major League Baseball playoff game ever, the league announced Thursday.

With the Japanese superstar in his first postseason and an impressive roster of his countrymen playing, baseball ratings have surpassed the United States—for a fraction of the price.

San Diego will send Yu Darvish to the mound while Los Angeles will have rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching in front of the home crowd. Darvish (7-3, 3.31 ERA) and Yamamoto (7-2, 3.00 ERA) both have excellent arms and will attempt to win the series for their squads.
