Kiké Hernandez started for the Los Angeles Dodgers in left field on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. By the end of the night he was filling in at second base and had been at the center of multiple key plays.
“The ability, versatility, unselfishness to move all over the diamond, I don’t take it for granted,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s something people take for granted. He had a huge night.”
Hernandez doubled with one out in the fifth inning of a tied game. He was at third base when the Diamondbacks elected to intentionally walk Scott Van Slyke.
