Once Teoscar Hernández hit a single on September 1, he stopped tweaking his stance at the plate 📝😅 DeRo and @Yonderalon

What happened: Hernández stopped tweaking his setup after a Sept. 1 single and has kept the same look since. The adjustment has coincided with 3 homers, 16 RBI, 8 runs, 3 doubles and 1 triple over that 17-game span.

Why it matters: That matters for a Los Angeles club that enters at 91-58 and averaging 5.0 runs per game. A steadier version of Hernández gives the Dodgers another productive bat as the regular season winds down.

By the numbers: By the numbers: the Dodgers are 91-58, have allowed 3.9 runs per game and are LWWLL over their last five. Wire Report recently tracked Hernández's opposite-field two-run homer during the same late-season run.

What to watch: Watch whether Hernández keeps the same setup in Los Angeles' next scheduled game. If the approach holds, his September production could remain a steady part of the Dodgers' offense.
