LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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 on Wednesday night.
Hernández drove a two-strike pitch 413 feet into dead center field, snapping Burnes' streak of 21 consecutive scoreless innings and giving the NL West-leading Dodgers their 18th come-from-behind win of the season.

Burnes gave up three runs and four hits in seven innings. He struck out eight as his three-game winning streak ended.
Arizona's run came on Ketel Marte's 425-foot homer leading off the fourth.
