Kiké Hernández credited the Los Angeles Dodgers' all-around team effort on October 8, 2026, and said they had not yet reached full strength.
Hernández said the Dodgers performed well across the roster during the series. “Our starting rotation did a great job. Our bullpen did an amazing job as well. We played good defense.”
He highlighted Pah's bases-loaded hit and Muny's insurance run, while explaining that the Dodgers stayed patient at the plate: “We stayed patient. We walked.” Hernández also described supporting his teammates as part of his role, saying, “I'm the hype man for a lot of people, but that's part of why I'm here.”
Hernández noted that Chadwick had been with the team in Triple-A before noticing a mechanical issue in Edwin Díaz and reviewing it with him after the game. Hernández stated that Díaz had returned to his usual form after the adjustment: “Sugar is back to being Sugar.”
Hernández acknowledged that the Dodgers were enjoying the victory but remained focused on their objective: “nobody's lost sight of the main objective, which is, you know, being the last team standing.” He added that the team would watch Game 5, identify its opponent and prepare for that matchup.
