On Oct. 19, 2017, Kiké Hernández had the game of his life for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series.
Hernández’s remarkable performance helped the Dodgers advance to their first World Series in 29 years.
The Dodgers did not waste any time getting on the scoreboard in their clinching game, and Hernández was a big reason for that. He took Cubs starter Jose Quintana deep in the top of the second inning to give L.A. an early 2-0 lead.
That home run was Hernández’s first of the postseason, although he was just getting started.
