LOS ANGELES -- It was fitting that Enrique Hernandez would have a great game on an afternoon when former Lakers great Kobe Bryant was honored at Dodger Stadium.
With fans wearing special jerseys honoring Bryant, Hernandez -- who wears No. 8 for the Dodgers, because Bryant was his favorite player -- made a great defensive play and then hit a home run in the fifth inning of a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.
"When these days are happening and I'm wearing No. 8, I feel like not a lot of things can go wrong," Hernandez said.
