Dodgers super utility man Kiké Hernandez made MLB history late Tuesday night, accomplishing a feat that hadn't been completed since Babe Ruth.
Unfortunately, the history Hernandez made came courtesy of a walk-off home run by Trevor Plouffe surrendered in the bottom of the 16th inning to give the Phillies a 7-4 win.
Hernandez took the mound in relief at the end of the game, with the Dodgers' bullpen depleted.
Per STATS:
Kike Hernandez of the Dodgers is the first player to play the infield, play the outfield and allow 3+ runs on the mound in the same game since Babe Ruth on October 1, 1921. Ruth blew a 6-run lead but got the win in extras. It did not work out so well for the Dodgers tonight.
Also according to STATS, Hernandez also became the first full-time position player in MLB history to surrender a walk-off home run.
