Dodgers Defeat Rockies 5-3 After Hernandez Returns From Injury

Hernández received loud cheers from a crowd of 48,778 when he stepped to the plate in the third inning. He drove in Hyeseong Kim with a double down the left-field line.

The Dodgers trailed until the seventh inning, when they took advantage of Colorado relief pitching to score the decisive runs. Hernández added an infield single in his second at-bat before being replaced by a pinch-hitter. Hernández had been sidelined for two months last season and received seven injections in his left elbow that did not resolve the injury.
