Blasts homer in win Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Impact Hernandez went deep to left center in the seventh to bring the Dodgers within two runs of the Rockies. He now has two homers and five RBI in his last four games, which has accounted for all of his RBI since Aug. 27.

If Muncy were to be held out more during the week, Hernandez could pick up a few extra starts at the keystone.

The long ball was his first over his past 16 contests, and the trio of RBI were his first runs batted in over that span. Hernandez has been working in a platoon with Gavin Lux at second base -- the former has started four of Los Angeles' past five games against southpaw starters while Lux has been getting all of the starts against right-handers.
