Hernandez drives in four runs with his two homers, Mookie Betts hit his third home run of the season and Bobby Miller pitches six scoreless innings with a career-high 11 strikeouts in a 6-3 win.
The Dodgers’ Teoscar Hernandez, right, is congratulated by teammates Max Muncy and Will Smith after he hit a three-run home run during the fifth inning of their game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Hernandez homered twice in a 6-3 win. LOS ANGELES — For three games, Teoscar Hernandez’s ability to hit left-handed pitching was just theoretical – like a new hire who claimed on his resumé to be bilingual.
The one hit, though, was a home run by Mookie Betts, leading off the bottom of the first inning. It was the 49th leadoff home run of his career, breaking a tie with Ian Kinsler and moving him into fifth place all-time . Hernandez was not off to good start. Signed for one year and $23.5 million , he was 2 for his first 12 with seven strikeouts – well on his way to matching last year’s unsightly total of 211 strikeouts .
A solo home run by Miguel Rojas in the seventh inning made it 6-0 before Michael Grove helped the Cardinals make it close. The young right-hander loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth on a soft infield single, a walk and a hit batter.Where to watch the SpaceX rocket soar in the sky across Southern California
