In another grinding win, L.A.'s Kiké Hernández spoils Kenley Jansen's return to Dodger Stadium

LOS ANGELES — Make it two straight wins for Los Angeles Dodgers out of the All-Star break, though it might have been closer than they would've liked.

The Dodgers defeated the Red Sox 7-6 on Saturday in a game that needed two extra innings and a walk-off RBI single to secure victory for L.A.. The win adds momentum to a Dodgers squad that was struggling in July prior to the break, losing eight out of 12 games.

While Will Smith’s final at-bat ended the game, it was Kiké Hernández who helped keep the team in position to win with two timely hits after he was brought in as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning.
