Ex-Red Sox Kiké Hernández gives memorable interview following Dodgers’ NLDS win

Kiké Hernández was the surprise hero of the Dodgers’ 2-0 Game 5 win over the Padres in the NLDS, helping Los Angeles reach the NLCS.

The former Red Sox utilityman hit a solo home run in the second inning that gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead at the time. His home run celebration went viral, but it wasn’t the only thing Hernández did Friday that took the internet by storm.

Following the win, Hernández spoke with Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal in an on-field interview. As the Dodgers struggled to get past the NLDS the last two seasons, Rosenthal asked Hernández what was different about this season’s Los Angeles team compared to previous ones.
