Teoscar Hernandez hit a three-run homer, Dustin May won for the first time in six starts, and the host Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 to win the rubber game of the three-game series.

Diamondbacks starter Corbin Burnes shut out the Dodgers for five innings to extend his scoreless streak to 21 consecutive innings, the longest active stretch in the majors, before Hernandez homered with two outs in the sixth inning for a 3-1 lead.

Miguel Rojas led off the sixth with an infield single, and Mookie Betts singled with one out. Burnes struck out Freddie Freeman to bring up Hernandez, whose homer to dead center was measured at 413 feet.

Hernandez was activated from the injured list for the first game of the series Monday after missing 12 games due to a left groin strain.

Ketel Marte hit a 425-foot homer in the fourth inning and Eugenio Suarez had two hits for the Diamondbacks, who dropped their second game in a row.

Marte, who missed a month with a strained hamstring earlier in the season, has hit seven homers since returning May 2 -- four of them against Los Angeles.

The Dodgers have won four of the first seven games against the Diamondbacks this season. The teams will not meet again until a three-game series Aug. 29-31 at Dodger Stadium.

May (2-4) gave up one run and five hits in six innings, tying a season high with eight strikeouts while walking one. He left after throwing 88 pitches.

Tanner Scott struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth for his 10th save in 13 chances for the Dodgers, who had snapped a four-game home losing streak on Tuesday.

Burnes (3-2) gave up four hits, struck out eight and walked one in seven innings.

May and Burnes met for the second time in 12 days. Burnes permitted five hits, all singles, in seven shutout innings during a 3-0 victory over the Dodgers in Phoenix on May 10, when May yielded two runs in 6 2/3 innings.

Arizona put two runners on in the seventh. Geraldo Perdomo singled to open the inning off Jack Dreyer and Corbin Carroll singled with two outs to put runners on first and third. Lou Trivino entered and got Marte on a groundout.

Burnes retired the first 11 Dodgers he faced before Freeman hit a sharp ground ball to right-center for a two-out single in the fourth. Freeman is hitting .413 with 11 extra-base hits and 17 RBIs in May.
