Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Kiké Hernandez was one of the stars of the night as the Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres 2-0 at home on Friday in Game 5 of the NLDS.
Hernandez hit a solo home run off of Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish in the second inning before his namesake Teoscar Hernandez repeated the act in the seventh to seal a hard-fought victory.
Kike Hernandez is now tied for the 20th spot in the list of players with the most MLB postseason home runs. Manny Ramirez, with 29 home runs in the playoffs, leads the list.
Kiké Hernandez has more postseason home runs than Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera & Chipper Jones
#4 Alex Rodriguez - 13
Alex Rodriguez is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in MLB history, although his path to the Hall of Fame is blocked due to PED suspensions.
Nevertheless, he's a three-time MVP with 12 All-Star nods and 10 Silver Slugger Awards. He ended his career with 696 home runs during the regular season, which places him in fifth spot on the all-time list.
Rodriguez made 12 appearances in the postseason with the Seattle Mainers and the New York Yankees. He batted .259/.365/.457 during the playoffs with 13 home runs and 41 RBIs in 76 games.
#3 Miguel Cabrera - 13
Miguel Cabrera is widely regarded as the finest right-handed hitter of his era. The Venezuelan slugger is a 12-time All-Star and two-time MVP with seven Silver Slugger awards and four batting titles.
He was at the peak of his powers in 2012 when he notched up the first batting triple crown in 45 years. Cabrera is headed to the Hall of Fame after recording over 3000 hits, 1800 RBIs and 500 home runs.
Cabrera played two World Series with the Florida Merlins and the Detroit Tigers and won one ring despite featuring in the postseason just five times. He played 55 games in the playoffs and has a .278/.368/.517 slashline with 13 home runs and 38 RBIs.
#2 Chipper Jones - 13
Chipper Jones was one of the cornerstones of the revered Atlanta Braves teams of the 1990s and 2000s, spending his entire 20-year career with the franchise.
Jones earned eight All-Star Game selections and the National League MVP in 1999, besides taking the batting title in 2008. He was voted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility with over 97% votes.
Chipper Jones ventured into the postseason 12 times with the Braves, even though he only won World Series ring with them. Jones played 93 times in the playoffs and batted .287/.409/.456 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs.
#1 Kiké Hernandez - 14
Unlike the other players on the list, Kiké Hernandez doesn't come to mind while thinking of the best hitters of the contemporary era.
Hernandez hasn't yet made the All-Star team over his 11-year MLB career with four different teams. Still, he's a feisty competitor, which makes him an important role player with a strong presence in the clubhouse for pennant-chasing teams.
Perhaps his dogged mentality is the reason why Kiké Hernandez enjoys a better record in the postseason compared to his numbers in the regular season. He has played 75 playoff games and has a .277/.351/.548 slashline with 14 home runs and 30 RBIs.
