LA won its series against San Diego 2-1 and began a three-game stand against another NL West foe, the\u00a0San Francisco Giants, on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on how Roberts feels about going up against the Giants but\u00a0Teoscar Hernandez\u00a0appears to be enjoying these divisional battles. The All-Star right fielder delivered a clutch three-run, go-ahead home run against the Padres on Wednesday and he\u00a0struck again against the Giants on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Stepping in against Logan Webb in the bottom of the seventh inning, Hernandez jumped on the first pitch he saw, driving a 91 mph sinker into the right field stands for an opposite field solo shot. Hernandez has now gone deep in back-to-back games for LA, per the Dodgers\u2019 official account on X.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col items-center gap-5 px-5 pb-5\">\n<div class=\"relative w-full overflow-hidden h-auto\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1933739026197925989&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fmlb%2Flos-angeles-dodgers%2Fdodgers-news-teoscar-hernandez-2024-form-2nd-straight-home-run-game&amp;sessionId=4d30c137c8b3b6cdf65029df2880e606e3441037&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=500px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1933739026197925989\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>Dodgers fall short despite Teoscar Hernandez\u2019s power surge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3412774\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3412774\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3412774\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Teoscar-Hernandez-2.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Teoscar-Hernandez-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Teoscar-Hernandez-2.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Teoscar-Hernandez-2.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Teoscar-Hernandez-2.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Teoscar-Hernandez-2.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Jun 11, 2025; San Diego, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Teoscar Hernandez (37) hits a three run home run during the sixth inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3412774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Frerker-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The long ball was Hernandez\u2019s 12th of the season.

Now recovered from the ailment, the 10th-year veteran is rounding into form, providing the Dodgers plenty of power in the middle of the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>While LA\u2019s batting order featured three different league MVPs on Friday, the offense struggled against\u00a0Giants ace Logan Webb. In fact, Hernandez was the only Dodgers player to record a hit in the game as he homered and singled.<\/p>\n<p>Webb dominated the rest of the Dodgers\u2019 lineup, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in seven innings as he notched yet another quality start for the Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled against San Francisco. The usually dependable starter gave up five runs on six hits and five walks, lasting just 4.2 innings and picking up his fifth loss of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles is just 5-7 over the last 12 games, falling to 41-29 on the year.
