Bats break out early, Hendrickson eats innings

The Dodgers handed Mark Hendrickson an 8-0 lead after two innings, which allowed him to simply settle in and throw strikes, which in turn allowed him to get through five strong innings on just 72 pitches.

Matt Kemp left the game after the first inning with a hamstring injury he suffered running out an infield single, but the injury doesn’t appear serious. Dodgers 9, Marlins 3, middle 6
