WATCH: Yadiel Hernandez First MLB HR Was a Walk-Off

| Posted on |

Nats outfielder Yadiel Hernandez hit his first MLB homer on Tuesday, a walk-off two-run job to lift the Nats over Philadelphia 8-7 and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Washington also won the first game of their doubleheader by a 5-1 score.

Hernandez is a 33-year-old rookie.

The defending champs aren’t mathematically eliminated from the postseason race yet but they have a 0.0 percent chance to make the playoffs, per FanGraphs.

Hernandez’s first big-league dinger came off Phillies reliever Brandon Workman.
