Dodge bat: Hernandez legs out lucky double

CINCINNATI -- Dodgers center fielder Kiké Hernandez gave new meaning to the term "broken-bat double" in Wednesday night's game against the Reds.

Leading off the sixth inning against reliever Pedro Villarreal, with the Dodgers ahead, 6-0, Hernandez hit what would have been a routine ground ball to shortstop Eugenio Suarez if his bat hadn't separated, with the barrel aiming directly at the feet of Suarez along with the ball.
