Kiké Hernández hits go-ahead homer as Dodgers beat Giants
SAN FRANCISCO — The Dodgers have spent much of this season finding ways to win games they probably had no business losing.
On September 26, 2026, in San Francisco, California, the Los Angeles Dodgers secured a crucial victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. In the ninth inning, with the score tied at 3-3, Kiké Hernández, the Dodgers' first baseman, stepped up to the plate. He connected with a cutter, hitting a home run that traveled 429 feet into the sky.
This decisive hit gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead and marked their 99th win of the regular season. Tanner Scott then delivered a perfect save in the bottom half, solidifying a 17th win in their last 22 games and positioning the Dodgers at 99-62. To put this into perspective, one more win will give the Dodgers the milestone of 100 regular-season victories.
