Adrian Gonzalez and Justin Turner Homer, Take Selfies, as Dodgers Rout Reds 8-3

The Dodgers assembled their own Fantastic Four onn Saturday night to rival that of the Hollywood blockbuster currently in theaters.

Yasiel Puig, Kiké Hernandez, Justin Turner and Adrian Gonzalez all homered for Los Angeles and the Dodgers crushed the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 at Chavez Ravine.

The Dodgers four home runs were a season high and give them 144 on the season tops in the National League and 10 more than they had all of last season at this time.

Puig went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored. Puig led off the second inning with a solo shot to center, his sixth homer since the All-Star break.

After two consecutive three-hit games, Hernandez went 1-for-5, but hit a big three-run blast to break the game open in the second inning.

"I've always been an every day player and at the beginning of the year it took me a little while to get used to my role," Hernandez said. "Now that I'm getting more at-bats, it's just a matter of staying consistent."

Turner finished 1-for-3 with a solo blast to the right field corner that leadoff the third inning. Turner has been terrific since his return to the lineup on Friday after missing 14 games with a MRSA infection in his right thigh.

Gonzalez homered for the second consecutive game connecting on an 84 MPH changeup from reliever Pedro Villarreal. It was Gonzalez's team-leading 24th homer of the season.

Brett Anderson bounced back from a rough outing against the Nationals last Monday in which he was hammered to the tune of seven runs. Anderson (7-7) recorded his 14th quality start of the season allowing three runs on six hits in six innings.

"I thought my stuff early was pretty good," Anderson said. "It was like a tale of two games. I was able to make some pitches and give us a quality start and get back to what I like to do."

His counterpart, David Holmberg, couldn’t say the same. Holmberg got knocked out of the game early, allowing seven runs on five hits in just two innings, the shortest start of his career.

Holmberg became the 17th consecutive rookie starting pitcher for the Reds, the longest stretch in team history, and the longest by any franchise since the 1997 St. Louis Cardinals when they had 19 straight rookie starts from Sept. 9-28.

2015 All-Star Home Run Derby Champion Todd Frazier hit his 29th long ball of the year, a line drive to right center in the first inning that gave the Reds an early 2-0 lead. Frazier's 29 home runs are tied for the most he's hit in his career.

The Dodgers put up a high five in the bottom of the second thanks to home runs by Puig and Hernandez. Puig started the inning off with a solo shot to center field, and Hernandez knocked in three with a rocket shot to left field that gave LA a 5-2 lead.

Joey Votto doubled in a run in the top half of the third inning to close the gap to a manageable 5-3, but the Reds would not get any closer as the Dodgers extended their lead in the third and fourth innings thanks to homers by Turner and Gonzalez, respectively.

Chris Hatcher pitched a scoreless ninth inning one day after he was activated from the 15-day disabled list. Hatcher missed the last 60 days with an oblique injury.

Game Notes:
Los Angeles improved to 41-20 at home on the season and are on pace for the best single season winning percentage in Dodger Stadium history.

It was Back to the Future night at Dodger Stadium as the original DeLorean from the movie was driven onto the field before the game. Out popped actress Lea Thompson, who played Lorraine McFly in the original movie, and she threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Fans in attendance also got to watch the original movie on the field after the game.
