Marlins' Struggles and Late Efforts


The Fish struggled offensively throughout most of the game, managing only 5 hits. Despite their efforts, they were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities until the ninth inning when they finally put one run on the board. Jesús Sánchez and Xavier Edwards were among those who tried to rally for Miami but found limited success against a strong Dodger defense.


On the mound, Tyler Phillips started for Miami and delivered an impressive performance with an ERA of 0.0 over his innings pitched. However, it was not enough as relief pitchers Lake Bachar and Cade Gibson faced challenges from Los Angeles hitters.

Dodgers' Offensive Power


The Blue showcased their offensive prowess in this encounter by accumulating 12 hits overall. Their scoring began in earnest during a powerful seventh inning where they scored six runs followed by three more in the ninth inning sealing their victory decisively.


Key players like Mookie Betts contributed significantly to this offensive surge which proved too much for Miami's bullpen that struggled particularly during these late innings allowing multiple runs without response from their own lineup.
