PHILADELPHIA — Teoscar Hernández does not lack for emotion. He plays with joy, with exuberance, with delight.
The Dodgers know he can hit. We all do. If the emotion dissipates, so can the performance.
Hernández could have been the goat Saturday night, in what would have been the Dodgers’ first loss in this postseason. Instead, he hit the game-winning home run, nearly levitated around first base, and became an October hero yet again.
In the Dodgers’ 16 postseason games last year, he hit three home runs and drove in 12 runs.
