LOOK: Red Sox's Kiké Hernandez correctly predicts Anthony Rizzo single while mic'd up during game
Hernandez also stated that Rizzo wasn't advancing past first base

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kiké Hernandez must have some kind of a crystal ball. During Sunday's nationally-televised game between the New York Yankees and Red Sox, Hernandez was mic'd up and, while playing the outfield, spoke about how he would react if Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo would get a base hit.
"If it's hit hard, he [Jose Trevino] is probably not gonna go home, but I don't want Rizzo to advance to second base on a hit," Hernández said on the broadcast.
As if it was right on cue, Rizzo then hit a single to center field, which allowed Hernandez to give a real-time reaction of the play. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jose Trevino did both manage to score on Rizzo's hit, but the Yankees first baseman wasn't able to get past first base after Hernandez got the ball in quickly.

As the ball jumped off of Rizzo's bat, Hernandez even exclaimed "here it is!" The Red Sox outfielder got on the ball about as quickly as possible and was able to get it in to the cut-off man, which halted Rizzo at first base and completely his accurate prediction.
Rizzo's fourth inning RBI single tied the game at 3-3. However, Hernandez getting the ball in ended up being a pivotal moment as the Red Sox were able to secure a 4-3 win thanks to a sixth inning solo home run from first baseman Bobby Dalbec.
Hernandez went 0-for-4 at the plate with a walk, but his defense -- while being interviewed no less -- really made a difference in Sunday's contest.
