"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."
"That home run was Hernández's first of the postseason, although he was just getting started. Hernández went deep again in the third inning, but this time it was with a grand slam as he went to the opposite field off Cubs reliever Hector Rondon to break the game open at 7-0. Then for good measure, Hernández hit a third home run in the top of the ninth inning to cap off the Dodgers' 11-1 victory and surely a night that he will never forget."
On Oct. 19, 2017, Kiké Hernández hit three home runs and drove in seven runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Chicago Cubs 11-1 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Hernández homered off starter Jose Quintana in the second inning, launched a third-inning opposite-field grand slam off reliever Hector Rondon, and added a third homer in the ninth. The performance propelled the Dodgers to their first World Series in 29 years. Hernández became the first player to hit three homers in a postseason game at Wrigley Field, and his seven RBI set an NLCS record. His father Enrique Sr. attended the game amid family health challenges, and the feat occurred while Puerto Rico faced devastation at home.
