Enrique Hernandez thought ball 3 was ball 4, so umpire Todd Tichenor set him straight

In the third inning of the Dodgers' 4-1 win over the Cubs in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series presented by Camping World on Sunday, Los Angeles was attempting a rally. With runners on first and second and two outs, left fielder Enrique Hernández was at the plate.
Hernandez staged a lengthy at-bat with Cubs left-hander Jon Lester, eventually drawing a walk to load the bases on -- er, at least he thought he'd worked a walk.

With the Dodgers staked to a 2-0 series lead, the NLCS now shifts to Chicago. Tune in to Game 3, Tuesday, 9 p.m. ET/8 CT/6 PT on TBS.
