Hernandez opened up the game with a leadoff home run against Mariners pitcher Erik Swanson. Here’s the video:
Hernandez would hit another home run in his appearance in the third inning, making the score 2-0 over Seattle. His two solo shots would be the only runs scored in the game, giving the Dodgers the victory.
Hernandez’s spring training performance has been impressive. In 23 at bats, he is batting .435 and his OPS is 1.288.
