LOS ANGELES -- Kiké Hernandez put on a show both at the plate and in the field, leading the Dodgers to a rousing 7-3 win over the Giants in their series opener on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.
Hernandez, the Dodgers' jack of all trades, was their best weapon against left-handed pitching in 2015, hitting .423/.471/.744 with an obscene 15 extra-base hits in 87 plate appearances against southpaws. That drew him the start on Friday against Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, off whom he was 7-for-13 (538) with three doubles and a home run coming into the game.
