homer

Hernández hit a key home run in Game 5 of the Dodgers’ National League Division Series win over San Diego and homered again in the National League Championship Series win over the New York Mets.

The title marked an appropriate end for the greatest individual season in Dodgers history, one in which Ohtani became the first player in history to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases.

Freddie Freeman homered in his third consecutive World Series game Monday despite playing on a fractured ankle, inspiring his Dodgers teammates.

It was deja vu all over again for Freeman, who hit a two-run homer in the first inning of Monday night’s 4-2 Game 3 victory.

It was also his sixth straight World Series game with a homer — going back to his time with the Atlanta Braves in 2021 — an MLB record.
