4-for-36, with every hit being a homer. It’s the kind of thing one could see Joey Gallo doing, but not so much Kiké. He’s averaged one homer every 29 at-bats over the course of his career, but he’s currently sporting a .111/.154/.444 line.

Hernández has started five straight games at first base in Freddie Freeman’s absence. He came through for the team with a two-run blast off Aaron Nola in the second inning. The 33-year-old has three hits on the season, all home runs. He’ll likely revert to a bench role upon Freeman’s return.

Hernández would have been in line to start against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Instead, Miguel Rojas is getting the nod at second base. Chris Taylor remains glued to the bench, even though the Dodgers have faced exclusively lefties in their three games to date.
