On Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 as Teoscar Hernandez hit a three-run homer and Emmet Sheehan tied his career high with 10 strikeouts in his first major league outing since August 2.

Following a throwing error by third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes in the fifth, Hernandez launched a 112.6 mph changeup off Brandon Williamson in the sixth for his 13th homer, extending Los Angeles' winning streak to five games.
Returning to the lineup after a four-day break, Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk. Reliever Alex Vesia escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth, and Evan Phillips earned his first save since May 2, 2025.
This victory marked the first of seven games between the clubs over the next 11 days. Reds LHP Nick Lodolo faces Dodgers LHP Tarik Skubal on Tuesday, with Skubal holding a 2.86 ERA this season.
