The Galaxy's new designated player had appeared in all three games for the winless club. He struggled for shots and did not score in the team's two games before the stoppage of play began in March because of the coronavirus pandemic. Hernandez, 32, scored his first MLS goal Monday in a 2-1 loss to the Portland Timbers during the first game for each team in the MLS is Back Tournament. But he missed a penalty shot and two other prime scoring chances.
