LOS ANGELES — Enrique Hernandez hit a tiebreaking three-run home run in the sixth inning, and Clayton Kershaw remained unbeaten as the Los Angeles Dodgers earned a 9-5 victory over the visiting New York Mets on Monday in the opener of a four-game series. Kershaw (5-0) gave up three runs on 10 hits over six innings for the Dodgers, who have won all eight of his starts and 16 consecutive going back to August. Davis and Adeiny Hechavarria hit home runs for the Mets, who were coming off a 6-1 homestand but have now lost six consecutive road games. Mets starter Jacob deGrom gave up two runs on seven hits over five innings. Cody Bellinger hit a third-inning home run, his 19th, and made a highlight play on defense to snuff out the Mets’ eighth-inning rally when he threw out Carlos Gomez at third base from deep right field.
