Teoscar Hernández hit a three-run homer off Corbin Burnes in the sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1.

The 24-year-old rookie catcher, who has started three times in seven games since being called up last week, has had no trouble acclimating as Will Smith’s new backup.

With injuries taking a toll on the Dodgers' starting rotation, Jack Dreyer and Landon Knack struggle early in a 9-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

With a four-game losing streak now behind them, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be out to win a series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks when the teams meet in the finale of a three-game set Wednesday.

The Diamondbacks got a tape-measure home run from Ketel Marte and Corbin Burnes pitched seven strong innings, but still lost to the Dodgers.
