LOS ANGELES — Mookie Betts set a Dodgers record for leadoff home runs and Teoscar Hernández added his first two long balls for Los Angeles in a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Betts hit his 29th leadoff homer for the Dodgers on the first pitch from Zack Thompson. Bobby Miller struck out a career-high 11, allowing two hits and a walk in six innings, and Evan Phillips pitched a perfect ninth for his second save. Betts, in his fifth season with the Dodgers, broke a tie for leadoff homers with Davey Lopes, who played for Los Angeles 1972-81.
