"The Los Angeles Dodgers came from behind to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the National League Division Series thanks to another clutch home run from Teoscar Hernández. The veteran outfielder delivered a go-ahead, three-run blast with two outs in the top of the seventh inning that gave the Dodgers a decisive 5-3 lead."
"Hernández endured somewhat of an uneven 2025 season but started to catch fire last month and has been able to maintain that success so far in the postseason. He finished the month of September with nine extra-base hits and 12 RBI in 22 games, and now owns a 1.429 on-base plus slugging percentage through the Dodgers' first three playoff contests."
"Hernández's go-ahead home run against the Phillies was also the fifth in the seventh inning or later while the Dodgers were trailing in franchise postseason history. He joined an exclusive group that includes Freddie Freeman (Game 1 of the 2024 World Series), Justin Turner (Game 2 of the 2019 NL Championship Series), Juan Uribe (Game 4 of the 2013 NLCS) and Kirk Gibson (Game 1 of the 1988 World Series)."
Teoscar Hernández hit a go-ahead, three-run, two-out home run in the top of the seventh to lift the Dodgers to a 5-3 victory over the Phillies in NLDS Game 1. Hernández became the first player in MLB history with at least three home runs and nine RBI in his team's first three postseason games. He went 3-for-4 with two homers in the Wild Card Game 1 win over the Reds and added two RBI on a double in the clincher. After an uneven 2025 season, Hernández heated up in September with nine extra-base hits and 12 RBI in 22 games and now owns a 1.429 OPS through three playoff contests. His homer erased an earlier misplay and matched a rare Dodgers late-comeback postseason grouping.
