Teo Does It Again - LA Sports Today

Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández may not be the flashiest guy in Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ (almost) everyday starting lineup, but he unquestionably is among the most clutch.

Teo did it again in the Dodgers 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday evening in front of a packed Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,028 in Game-1 of the 2024 National League West Division Series. The 31-year-old Cotui, Dominican Republic native roped a fourth-inning two-out single to right off of Padres right-hander Jeremiah Estrada to drive in the Dodgers (then) game-tying fifth and (eventual) game-winning sixth runs.

But as Dodger fans have come to expct and appreciate, it was international superstar Shohei Ohtani who once again (and understandably) received most of the accolades, with his dramatic second-inning three-run home run to right field to turn a 3-0 Padres lead into a 3-3 tie.

Although Teoscar’s two-run single in the bottom of the fourth drove in the Dodgers eventual winning run, it was Ohtani’s 372-foot game-tying three-run home run into the Right Field Pavilion with two outs in the bottom of the second that set the stage for Teo.
