The Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious over the Miami Marlins 3-1, extending their winning streak to six games and completing a perfect homestand. Teoscar Hernandez’s two-run homer in the sixth inning was a pivotal moment in the game, as he drove in all three runs for Los Angeles. Freddie Freeman started the inning with a double, and Hernandez followed suit with a home run off Ryan Weathers.
The Dodgers have been impressive during their homestand, with five starters going at least six innings and posting a 2.33 ERA with 31 strikeouts and only four walks. Bryan De La Cruz’s solo home run in the fourth inning was the only run scored by Miami. Gavin Stone pitched seven innings for Miami, giving up only one run on six hits with four strikeouts.
Daniel Hudson closed out the game for Los Angeles, retiring the Marlins in order for his second save. Weathers took the loss for Miami, allowing three runs and five hits in six innings. Injuries continue to impact the Marlins, as RHP Edward Cabrera was placed on the injured list for the second time this season. LHP Braxton Garrett was reinstated from the IL and will start on Sunday against Philadelphia.
Up next, Miami will face off against Philadelphia in a three-game series starting on Friday, with Trevor Rogers taking to the mound for Miami. Meanwhile, Los Angeles will travel to San Diego to take on Padres starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow in a three-game series that begins on Saturday night
