Teoscar Hernandez leads Dodgers' 18-hit attack, which routs Marlins 15-2

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Teoscar Hernandez had two doubles and two RBI singles to lead the major leagues with 31 RBIs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Miami Marlins 15-2 on Tuesday night.

Cuban Andy Pagés hit a home run among his three hits for the Dodgers, who finished with 18 hits and won their fourth consecutive game.

Los Angeles turned a 3-1 deficit into a three-run rout in the third inning. Mookie Betts capped the rally with a two-run single.

The Dodgers scored four in the sixth on two-run doubles by Will Smith and Tommy Edman.

Dodgers right-hander Matt Sauer, recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, allowed one run and five hits in five innings of relief. He struck out four and issued no walks to earn his first major league win and provide some much-needed relief to a bullpen that leads the majors with 133 innings.

Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcántara, making his sixth start back from Tommy John surgery, was battered for seven runs and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings. He walked five and struck out two to fall to 2-3 with an 8.31 ERA.

Shohei Ohtani sent Alcántara's first pitch of the game over the right-field wall for his seventh home run of the season. It's the 14th time he's led off a game with a home run in his career.

For the Marlins, Dominicans Agustín Ramírez went 0-for-4, Otto López went 2-for-4 with one run scored, Jesús Sánchez went 1-for-4, and Venezuelan Javier Sanoja went 0-for-4.

For the Dodgers, Puerto Rican Kiké Hernández went 1-for-1 with two runs scored. Venezuelan Miguel Rojas went 1-for-2 with one RBI. Dominican Teoscar Hernández went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and four RBIs. Cuban Pagés went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBIs.
