Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez sparked Cleveland's late rally, getting his team on the board with an eighth-inning solo shot. In the 10th, he scored the game-winning run on an error. The second baseman is slashing just .217/.299/.391 with 10 homers, 21 RBI and 37 runs scored through 264 plate appearances. Those certainly aren't standard numbers for a leadoff hitter, but that's the role he fills for Cleveland.

Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old came to the plate trailing 2-1 with a runner on base during the bottom of the fifth innings, and he clubbed his third homer of the season to give Cleveland the lead for good.

Hernandez went 1-for-5 with a three-run triple and a run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Hernandez hit a bases-loaded triple in the fourth inning to extend Cleveland's lead to 6-1. In the sixth, Hernandez got aboard on a fielder's choice and scored on a Jose Ramirez double. Through 31 games, Hernandez has a .200/.304/.308 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI and 16 runs scored. He hasn't hit like a typical leadoff batter, but his .234 BABIP is well below his usual level, indicating he's had some poor luck early in 2021.
