LOS ANGELES (AP) --- Javier Sanoja singled in the go-ahead run with two outs in
the eighth inning, lifting the Miami Marlins over the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2
on Wednesday.
Sanoja's infield bloop hit off reliever Will Klein (1-2) scored Xavier Edwards,
who singled leading off. Sanoja entered in the sixth as a defensive replacement
in left field.
Liam Hicks and Esteury Ruiz hit solo homers for the Marlins, who took two of
three from the Dodgers for the first time in Los Angeles since April 2018 and
improved to 5-10 on the road.
The Dodgers trailed in the bottom of the ninth in all three games.
Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher opened the ninth with back-to-back walks to
Hyeseong Kim and Alex Call. The runners moved up on Alex Freeland's sacrifice
bunt. Shohei Ohtani was intentionally walked to load the bases.
Freddie Freeman grounded into a double play to end the game. The Dodgers
challenged the out call at first, but it was upheld. Ohtani was called out at
second.
Andrew Nardi (2-1) got the win with a hitless inning of relief. Faucher
finished for his first save.
Marlins starter Sandy Alcntara allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings.
The right-hander struck out four and walked two.
Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow struck out a season high-tying nine, including
six in a row, leaving him one short of 1,000 for his career. The right-hander
gave up two runs and three hits while walking six in 5 1/3 innings.
The Dodgers tied it at 2 on Dalton Rushing's RBI single in the sixth.
They also tied it at 1 on Alex Call's sun-aided RBI single with two outs in the
second. Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez couldn't see the ball in the sun even with
shades on and neither the second or third basemen were wearing sunglasses. The
ball dropped near second.
Up next
After an off day, Dodgers RHP Emmet Sheehan (2-0, 4.78 ERA) is scheduled to
start Friday in St. Louis against LHP Matthew Liberatore (0-1, 4.75).
