Hernández Breaks Out with Walk-Off Double | California News

0:00So, the Dodgers pulled off a winning against the Cardinals on Thursday, three runs to two. It was a walkoff double in the bottom of the ninth by TeoScar Hernandez that sealed the deal, preventing a series sweep. This was a big moment because the team had been struggling to get hits with runners and scoring position for the past couple of games, going 26, at bats, without much to show for it. Earlier this week, Hernandez had a bit of a breakthrough, even though it was on a flyout. He mentioned feeling more in control of his swing and being able to see what he was doing, which he felt was the key to his recent success. He'd been in a slump for a while, so much so that the manager, Dave Roberts, was even thinking about puttuning the left field spot. Hernandez actually told Roberts to go ahead and use someone else if he felt he had to, but to know he was going to keep grinding. This past Sunday, he hit a home run, and when Roster's expanded, the Dodgers decided to stick with him, betting he could break out of it. It seems like that gamble paid off this series.

1:00According to officials, Hernandez went 6 for 13 against the Cardinals, and Roberts said it was the best he'd seen him hit against right handed. Pictures, since April. With the postseason approaching, teams need to know who they can rely on, and Hernandez's performance in these last three games has been really strong. Tommy Edmund also had a good game, leading the team with four hits, but Hernandez's double was the one that mattered most. It's good to see him finding his rhythm when it counts.
