Kiké Hernandez is more than just a utility player

Enrique Hernandez, super-utility man, started off the Dodgers’ home run blitz against the Mets on Sunday with a leadoff solo shot to left field. Then he slugged a second home run to left field in the sixth inning. He went 3-for-6 in the game with a single, two home runs, and two RBI. Not only has Kiké been versatile defensively, he’s also been useful offensively this season. He’s slashing .234/.308/.479/.787 with a career-high 13 home runs, 26 RBI and a 113 wRC+ in 71 games.
