The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their eighth win in nine games Monday night, defeating the Miami Marlins 7-4. Los Angeles jumped out to a hot start, scoring the first six runs of the game.
Teoscar Hernández set the tone early, delivering an RBI double in the first inning to score Mookie Betts and give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. The offense continued to roll, and the team never looked back in their comfortable victory.
With the win, the Dodgers improved to 24-11 on the season. They maintain a slim lead in the National League West, staying just ahead of both the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants, who trailed by fewer than two games entering Monday’s action.
However, the win came at a cost. The Dodgers’ official social media account shared unfortunate news during the game:
“Teoscar Hernández left the game with left hamstring tightness.”

That’s a significant blow, considering Hernandez’s hot bat this season. Before exiting, he went 2-for-2 at the plate and raised his batting average to .315. In addition to 10 doubles, Hernandez leads the team with nine home runs and 34 RBIs.
The 32-year-old outfielder joined the Dodgers last season, helping them to a World Series title after a single season with the Seattle Mariners. Prior to that, he spent six seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays following a brief stint with the Houston Astros, where he played 41 games.
In last year’s championship campaign, Hernandez appeared in 154 games, slashing .272/.316/.499 with 33 home runs and 99 RBIs. He continued to contribute in the postseason, hitting .250 (15-for-60) with three home runs over 16 games.
Chris Taylor replaced Hernandez in the lineup after the injury. While Hernandez’s status remains uncertain, players like Enrique Hernandez and Michael Conforto are expected to see more opportunities in his absence.
Following their three-game series in Miami, the Dodgers will return west for a four-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks. They will be back at Dodger Stadium on May 13 to host the Oakland Athletics for a three-game series.
