Muncy, Hernandez homer twice as Dodgers beat Cardinals

Muncy, in just his second game following a month-long break due to a bone bruise injury from a collision, went 4 for 5 with four RBI and three runs scored. In his first game back on Monday, Muncy went 0 for 3 with a walk.

Muncy hit his first home run off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas 416 feet to right field. In the third inning, he hit his homer 404 feet.

Hernandez was 4 for 5 with four RBI and two runs scored for the NL West-leading Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani finished with two hits and three runs scored.

Nolan Gorman hit a two-run homer in the second inning for the Cardinals.

Mikolas (6-9) was chased after three innings after allowing five earned runs. The Cardinals bullpen struggled, too, allowing six earned runs.

Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan (3-2), who was called up to be part of a six-man rotation that will last at least one more week, allowed four hits and no runs in five innings. He struck out five and walked one.

Key moment Muncy and Hernandez hit back-to-back home runs in the third to give the Dodgers a 5-2 lead. It was the first time the Dodgers had players hit consecutive homers since Ohtani and Betts did it against Arizona on May 18.

Key stat Betts doubled in the third to snap a 0 for 22 hitless streak. He finished with three hits and a walk.
