The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 2-0 to advance to the NLCS for the first time since 2021.
Kike Hernandez started in center for the Dodgers, hit a home run, and then helped close out Game 5 with two nice plays at third base in the ninth inning to win the NLDS. Following the game a very happy Hernandez spoke with FOX’s Ken Rosenthal.
Asked what makes this year’s Dodgers team different than previous year’s teams, Hernandez responded with a question, asking Rosenthal if they were live. When Rosenthal confirmed that they were live, Hernandez thought about it for a second and said, “The fact that we don’t give a f—.”
Then he smiled, knowing he had sworn on national television.
Here’s Hernandez making the final out of the game.
And here’s Teoscar Hernandez adding the insurance run that the Dodgers did not end up needing.
Game 1 of the NLCS between the Dodgers and New York Mets is set for Sunday night in Los Angeles. Get that bleep button ready.
