Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas also drove in runs for the Dodgers, who have won six consecutive series.
Kris Bubic (6-6) allowed Hernández's two-run shot in the second inning among his three hits and two walks in five innings. The left-hander struck out five but still took his fourth loss in his last five starts, despite maintaining a 2.25 ERA.
Bobby Witt Jr. doubled in the first to score the only run for the Royals, who have lost seven of their last eight games.
Both of the teams paid homage to the Negro Leagues, whose museum is less than 10 miles from Kauffman Stadium. The Dodgers wore hats from their Brooklyn days out of respect for Jackie Robinson, who played for the Kansas City Monarchs before breaking the color barrier, and the Royals wore the interlocking “KC” hats of the 1945 Monarchs.
Key moment
The Dodgers were leading 2-1 in the fifth when Freddy Fermin led off with a bunt single for Kansas City. Drew Waters worked a 3-0 count before failing to get down a sacrifice bunt, striking out instead. Wrobleski proceeded to get Jonathan India to pop out and struck out Witt to end the threat.
Key stat
The Royals went 6 for 12 with runners in scoring position in their 9-5 win Saturday. They were 1 for 5 on Sunday.
Up next
The Dodgers have Monday off before starting a six-game homestand with RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7-6, 2.61 ERA) on the mound Tuesday night against the White Sox. Kansas City begins a seven-game trip Monday night in Seattle with RHP Michael Wacha (4-7, 3.33) starting the opener of a four-game series.
