Kiké Hernández praised his teammate Edwin Diaz after Diaz secured a save for the Los Angeles Dodgers during Game 3 of the NLDS on Tuesday night. Despite Diaz's challenging season, which included an 8.68 ERA and health issues, he made a mechanical adjustment that improved his performance in recent appearances. Diaz’s save was particularly significant as it came after giving up a leadoff double but then retiring the next three batters to secure the win for the Dodgers.

Story summary
In NLDS Game 3, Edwin Diaz of the Los Angeles Dodgers secured his first save since August, after a challenging year marred by injuries and poor performance. Despite giving up a leadoff double to Ozzie Albies, Diaz rebounded to retire the next three batters, securing the victory for the Dodgers. His longtime friend and teammate Kiké Hernández praised Diaz's resilience, noting that he worked hard to overcome early adversity and adjust his pitching mechanics. This adjustment led to five successful bullpen appearances between August and September, where Diaz gave up only one hit, zero runs, and struck out nine batters. Diaz signed a three-year $69 million contract with the Dodgers in the offseason but struggled during the regular season with an 8.68 ERA.
