Kiké Hernández Has Hilarious Reaction to Dodgers' Incredible Feat

Before the Los Angeles Dodgers lost Tuesday’s game to the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 in extra innings, they accomplished a rare feat on Monday that no other team has accomplished this season.

They didn’t strike out.

The Dodgers sent 44 players to the plate and not one struck out. It was the first strikeout-free game by Dodgers hitters since August 28, 2006, the first by any MLB team this season, and the most plate appearances without a strikeout by any MLB team since the Cleveland Guardians sent 46 to the plate without striking out on July 28, 2017.

Outfielder Kiké Hernández said he thought the strikeout meter at Chase Field was broken when he looked up in the ninth inning.

"I didn't notice until the ninth inning," Kiké Hernandez said. "I thought the team just kind of gave up on the game and removed all the Ks. It was the ninth inning, when we got the first out, and I pointed at Pages to tell each other one out. And it was in the same point of view. I was like, 'What the (heck)? No Ks?'

"We finished the game, we got in the huddle in the outfield, and I was like, 'I think we didn't strike out tonight.' And in the (handshake) line I asked Rob (hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc), 'Did we not strike out?' And he goes, 'No.' I was like, that's pretty (expletive) cool.'"

Hernández started the scoring for the Dodgers with an RBI double in the second inning. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI.
