ARLINGTON, Tex. —
The approach was dictated by the situation.
And, with a chance to tie a game Friday night, Teoscar Hernández knew exactly what he wanted to do with his swing.
In the Dodgers’ only win of the final week to the first half of their season, Hernández came to the plate Friday with runners on the corners and two outs in the eighth inning, needing a base hit to erase the club’s one-run deficit.
As he dug into the box, the two-time All-Star and nine-year veteran had a clear-headed game plan.
