LOS ANGELES -- Justin Turner homered in his first at-bat off the disabled list and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 7-2 on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Turner, who missed 19 games with a right hamstring strain, went 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Enrique Hernandez also homered for the Dodgers (37-25).

Joey Votto cranked his 17th home run of the season in the ninth inning for the Reds (29-31), who had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Dodgers left-hander Rich Hill (3-2) limited the Reds to a run and three hits with five strikeouts and three walks in five innings.

Kenta Maeda worked the final four innings for his first major league save. Maeda gave up a run, fanned five and walked none in his first appearance out of the bullpen.

The Reds lost starter Amir Garrett in the second inning. Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes hit a line drive back to the mound that hit the palm of the pitching hand of Garrett. The rookie left-hander went down for several minutes. Garrett attempted several practice pitches but was unable to continue.

Garrett (3-5) gave up two runs, two hits with a walk and a strikeout in one-plus innings. Reliever Jake Buchanan replaced him.

Turner drilled a 2-1 Garrett pitch over the left-field wall for a 2-0 Los Angeles edge with one out in the first inning. It was Turner's second home run this season.

Jose Peraza's RBI single in the second scored Eugenio Suarez and pulled the Reds within 2-1.

But the Dodgers touched Buchanan for two runs in the third and two in the fourth. With the bases loaded, Barnes dribbled an infield run-scoring single that plated Corey Seager. Buchanan made a wild throw to first on the play, allowing Logan Forsythe to score for a 4-1 advantage in the third.
