Enrique Hernandez continues to be Mr. October for the Dodgers.

Hernandez delivered a huge 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning of NLCS Game 3 between his Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets at Citi Field in Queens, New York, on Wednesday night.

Hernandez was facing Reed Garrett with Tommy Edman at second and two outs. He swatted a 1-2 pitch deep to left field for a home run to make it 4-0.

If Hernandez homering in the playoffs seems familiar, that’s because it is. That was Hernandez’s 15th career postseason home run, which places him eighth among active players. He also homered in the NLDS Game 5 win over the San Diego Padres.

The 33-year-old utilityman was batting .316 with a .982 OPS in the postseason following that home run.
