Freddie Freeman's prodigious output, featuring a brace of singles and a climactic bases-clearing triple, proved instrumental in the Los Angeles Dodgers' emphatic 10-1 vanquishing of the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
Freeman was the driving force behind the Dodgers' triumph, contributing four RBIs and extending his hitting streak to a dozen games, thereby solidifying the team's preeminence in MLB (25-12) after securing their fourth consecutive series victory by claiming two of three contests against Miami; his individual performance in the series was particularly noteworthy, boasting an 8-for-13 record, six RBIs, and two home runs.
On Wednesday, Shohei Ohtani notched a triple and garnered three bases on balls, conspicuously receiving an intentional pass from reliever Lake Bachar amidst a prolific six-run seventh inning.
In the denouement of the contest, pinch-hitter James Outman delivered a decisive blow, launching a three-run blast that unequivocally solidified the Dodgers' commanding lead.
Landon Knack (2-0), having been summoned earlier on Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City, yielded four hits and no runs whilst fanning five; he was subsequently relieved by fellow call-up Matt Sauer, who closed out the final four frames to register his maiden career save.
Miami starter Valente Bellozo yielded a solitary hit and fanned seven over a pristine 5 1/3 innings before being supplanted by Cade Gibson after just one batter in the sixth, thereby averting a third encounter with Ohtani, who subsequently laced a triple off Gibson (0-1) during the ensuing plate appearance.
Debutante backstop Augustin Ramirez notched a single and a double for the Marlins (14-22), who slumped to a 2-9 record in their most recent eleven contests.
Jesús Sánchez, having previously notched a single in the sixth frame, ultimately proved pivotal in securing Miami's solitary tally via a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
In the seventh inning, the Dodgers decisively altered the game's trajectory against Bachar, who, upon entering the contest, yielded a walk, a single, and a run-scoring single; with first base available, Bachar then strategically walked Ohtani before conceding a walk to Mookie Betts with the bases occupied, precipitating Freeman’s subsequent bases-clearing triple and another scoring single.
The Dodgers offense remained largely dormant against Bellozo for the initial quinquepartite segment, mustering a solitary successful batted ball, prior to unleashing an eleven-hit barrage against a quartet of Miami's bullpen denizens.
Thursday's baseball calendar features the commencement of a four-game set in Arizona for the Dodgers, with right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, currently holding a 4-2 record with a remarkable 0.90 earned run average, slated to take the mound; concurrently, the Marlins are scheduled for a day off on Thursday before right-handed pitcher Max Meyer, whose record stands at 2-3 with a 3.92 ERA, is penciled in to initiate their three-game series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
