LOS ANGELES – For the second game in a row, Corey Seager killed the Cincinnati Reds.
Saturday night, he’d tallied his first-ever walk-off hit to clinch the game for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Less than 24 hours later, he clubbed an eighth-inning grand slam to send the deflated Reds to a 9-7 loss and a series sweep at Dodger Stadium.
But though Seager ultimately drove a dagger all the way into their hearts, it was really Kiké Hernandez who mortally wounded the Reds. It was Hernandez that drew a 13-pitch walk in the eighth, sucking a bit of life out of Cincinnati closer Raisel Iglesias with each foul ball.
