Dodgers' Hernández and Smith Homer, Wrobleski Pitches 6 Innings of 3-Hit Ball in 5-1 Win over Royals

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 5-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon, sealing the weekend series and concluding their road trip with a 5-1 record.
The Dodgers' victory followed improvements in pitcher Justin Wrobleski's performance after a difficult April start against the Nationals that set him back early this season.
Wrobleski delivered six strong innings, surrendering three hits and one walk while striking out six, supported by home runs from Kiké Hernandez and Will Smith; the game’s final innings were flawlessly closed out by relievers Kirby Yates and Jack Dreyer.
Wrobleski's ERA was 2.73 in five June appearances, striking out 21 batters in 20 bulk-relief innings, with manager Dave Roberts saying, "Justin's confidence is at an all-time high."
Experienced Dodgers player Miguel Rojas injured his ring finger while sliding into second base and left the game as a precaution while awaiting X-ray results. Given a similar 2021 injury that sidelined him for 18 games, there is cautious hope regarding his recovery.
