With A Taste Of Tequila, Papi Salutes Teoscar Hernandez And The Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their third consecutive NL Championship Series berth after sweeping the Atlanta Braves in the NL Division Series, and their pursuit of a historic three-peat continued with a moment of celebration featuring MLB on FOX analyst David Ortiz. Ortiz toasted Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez with a shot of tequila following the team’s Game 4 victory, praising Hernandez’s clutch performances amid a roster packed with superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts.

Though Hernandez went hitless in Games 3 and 4, his two-run homer in the 5-3 win of Game 1 proved pivotal, and his September resurgence—posting a .341 average, .965 OPS, four homers, and 18 RBIs—highlighted his ability to thrive in high-pressure moments. Hernandez, who joined the Dodgers later in the season after a slow start, credited his late-season success to adjusting his batting stance, experimenting with three distinct approaches to better control his swing and cover the field.

The Dodgers will now face their next challenge in Game 1 of the NLCS on Sunday, aiming to extend their postseason dominance.
