Former Houston Astros utility player Kiké Hernandez hit three home runs and drove in seven runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers crushed the Chicago Cubs 11-1 on Thursday night at Wrigley Field.
Hernandez hit a solo drive in the second inning against Jose Quintana, and a grand slam in the third inning against Hector Rondon.
The win for the Dodgers marks the first National League pennant in 29 years when Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda managed Los Angeles to its last championship in 1988.
The 2017 NLCS (National League Championship Series) ended 4-1 with the Dodgers over the Cubs 3-0 in Los Angeles and 1-1 at Wrigley Field in Chicago (October 14–19, 2017, televised on TBS).
