Game 1: Dodgers Edge Marlins 7-6 in Extras After Blowing Five-Run Lead
The Los Angeles Dodgers survived a stunning Marlins comeback and a scare of their own bullpen unraveling to pull off a dramatic 7–6 win in 10 innings on Monday night at Chavez Ravine, thanks to Tommy Edman’s clutch two-run single.
With two runners in scoring position and one out in the bottom of the 10th, Edman roped a liner into right field off Miami reliever Ronny Henriquez (1–1), scoring Michael Conforto and Andy Pages to cap a chaotic series opener and give the Dodgers their third consecutive win.
The late heroics were necessary after Los Angeles coughed up a 5–0 lead, with Dane Myers delivering a game-tying, pinch-hit grand slam in the sixth for the Marlins—his first career home run—and Jesús Sánchez putting Miami up 6–5 with a go-ahead RBI double in the top of the 10th off Kirby Yates (3–1).
But the Dodgers stayed calm. Pages drew a leadoff walk in the bottom half, and Kiké Hernández laid down a textbook sacrifice bunt that brought the crowd of 46,000-plus to its feet. One pitch later, Edman sent them home happy.
“That’s what makes this team special,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said postgame. “We bend, but we don’t break.”
Teoscar Hernández continued his power surge for L.A., homering in his third straight game with a two-run blast in the fifth. The reigning Home Run Derby champion now has nine long balls this season, tied for third in the majors.
The Dodgers built a comfortable early lead behind RBI singles from Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, and a two-out RBI double from former Marlin Miguel Rojas in the fourth. Dustin May, still settling back into the rotation after nearly two years away due to injury, pitched into the sixth inning and allowed three runs on five hits and three walks.
May’s outing came on the same day the Dodgers placed Tyler Glasnow on the injured list, further depleting a rotation already missing Walker Buehler and Bobby Miller.
The game turned in the sixth when Eric Wagaman singled home a run off May, and Anthony Banda served up the grand slam to Myers two batters later, evaporating the Dodgers’ lead in a flash.
Still, the Dodgers’ bullpen steadied from there, and their bats had one final answer.
Kiké Hernández’s sacrifice bunt in the 10th drew a roaring ovation and set the stage for Edman’s game-winning hit on the next pitch.
Teoscar Hernández’s fifth-inning blast was his ninth home run of the season—good for a share of third place in the majors.The Marlins send struggling ace Sandy Alcántara (2–2, 6.56 ERA) to the mound on Tuesday, still searching for form.
The Dodgers will counter with a bullpen game, looking to keep their win streak alive despite mounting rotation injuries.
Game 2: Teoscar Hernández Drives in Four as Dodgers Dominate Marlins 15–2
The Los Angeles Dodgers pounded out 18 hits and got four RBIs from red-hot Teoscar Hernández to trounce the Miami Marlins 15–2 on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, extending their winning streak to four games.
Hernández continued his torrid start to the season, collecting two RBI doubles and two RBI singles to take over the major league lead with 31 RBIs. Rookie Andy Pages added a home run among his three hits, while the Dodgers broke the game open early and never looked back.
Shohei Ohtani set the tone by launching Sandy Alcántara’s first pitch of the game over the right-field wall for his seventh homer of the season and the 14th leadoff blast of his career. The Dodgers scored three more in the third, capped by Mookie Betts’ two-run single with two outs that pushed the lead to 7–1 and effectively knocked out Alcántara.
“That two-out hit from Mookie just flipped the game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “And Teoscar—he’s just been on another level. He’s driving in runs in every big moment.”
Alcántara (2–3) endured another rough outing in his return from Tommy John surgery, allowing seven runs on seven hits and five walks in just 2 2/3 innings. His ERA ballooned to 8.31 through six starts.
The Dodgers added four more runs in the sixth on back-to-back two-run doubles by Will Smith and Tommy Edman, blowing the game wide open. Edman now has six RBIs in the first two games of the series.
Meanwhile, right-hander Matt Sauer, recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day, gave the Dodgers exactly what they needed from a taxed bullpen. Pitching five innings in relief, Sauer allowed just one run on five hits, struck out four, and walked none to notch his first major league victory.
“Matt was fantastic,” Roberts said. “He gave us length and let the rest of the bullpen breathe a bit.”
The only offensive highlight for the Marlins came on an RBI groundout by Nick Gordon in the second and a solo homer from Dane Myers in the ninth.
Alcántara looked like he might escape the third inning with minimal damage after striking out Ohtani for the second out. But with two on and two outs, Betts punched a two-run single to left-center, extending the lead to 7–1 and putting the game out of reach.
Andy Pages is now batting a sizzling .586 (17-for-29) with four home runs, three doubles, eight RBIs, and nine runs scored over his last seven games.
The Dodgers hand the ball to right-hander Tony Gonsolin, making his season debut after recovering from elbow surgery. He’ll face Marlins righty Cal Quantrill (2–2, 7.83 ERA) in Wednesday’s series finale.
Game 3: Gonsolin Shines in Return, Betts Drives in Four as Dodgers Complete Sweep of Marlins with 12–7 Win
Tony Gonsolin made a triumphant return to the mound and Mookie Betts continued his scorching stretch at the plate as the Los Angeles Dodgers outslugged the Miami Marlins 12–7 on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium to complete a three-game sweep and extend their win streak to five.
Gonsolin, making his first appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023, was sharp and efficient, tossing six innings of three-run ball on just 77 pitches. The right-hander allowed six hits, struck out nine, and didn’t issue a walk—exactly what the Dodgers hoped for from the 2022 All-Star as they continue to patch together a battered rotation.
“It felt great to be back,” Gonsolin said. “I’ve worked hard to get here, and to contribute right away in a win like this is special.”
The Dodgers offense, which racked up 17 hits for the second straight night, broke open a close game in the sixth inning. With a 4–3 lead and one out, Betts hammered a two-run triple off the center-field wall, then scored on the very next pitch when Freddie Freeman launched a two-run homer to right, making it 8–3 in a blink.
Betts also delivered a two-run single in the third as part of a three-run frame and finished with four RBIs for the second time this season.
“Everything’s clicking right now,” Betts said. “We’re putting pressure on pitchers from top to bottom.”
Max Muncy, off to a slow start in 2025, showed signs of life at the plate. The veteran third baseman crushed a 433-foot solo homer to center in the second inning—his first of the season—and added a triple in the seventh, finishing 2-for-4.
Meanwhile, Teoscar Hernández kept raking. The slugger had three more hits and is now batting .425 (17-for-40) over his last nine games with four homers, six doubles, 15 RBIs, and nine runs scored.
Marlins starter Cal Quantrill (2–3) struggled again against L.A., giving up four runs in 3 2/3 innings. He is now 1–7 with an 8.22 ERA in nine career appearances versus the Dodgers.
Kyle Stowers was a bright spot for Miami, homering twice for his first multi-homer game of the season. In the ninth, the Marlins rallied for four runs, including a three-run double from Liam Hicks off Yoendrys Gomez, cutting the deficit to 12–7.
But the comeback stopped there. With two on and two out, Jesús Sánchez hit a hard grounder down the first-base line that Hernández smothered with a diving stop. He then raced to the bag himself to seal the win, drawing a roar from the Dodger Stadium crowd.
In the ninth inning, with Miami threatening and the tying run on deck, Teoscar Hernández’s diving stop and unassisted out at first base on Sánchez’s grounder preserved the victory and ended the game in style. Hernández is batting .425 with four home runs, 15 RBIs, and a 1.321 OPS in his last nine games.
The Dodgers hit the road and open a marquee series Friday in Atlanta, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3–2, 1.06 ERA) facing Braves right-hander Grant Holmes (2–1, 4.50 ERA). The Marlins return home to face the Oakland Athletics in a three-game set.
