Freddie Freeman registered a brace of singles and a bases-clearing triple, furnishing the offensive impetus for the Los Angeles Dodgers' decisive 10-1 triumph over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
Freeman's four RBIs and 12-game hitting streak propelled the MLB-leading Dodgers (25-12) to a series victory in Miami, securing their fourth consecutive series win, a testament to Freeman's exceptional performance in the series where he notched eight hits in thirteen at-bats, six RBIs, and a pair of home runs.
Shohei Ohtani not only notched a triple but also procured three walks on Wednesday, including a deliberate base on balls yielded during a six-run seventh-inning offensive barrage against the relief pitcher Lake Bachar.
Entering the fray as a substitute, James Outman emphatically extended the Dodgers' advantage with a prodigious three-run shot in the denouement of the contest.
Landon Knack (2-0), having been summoned earlier on Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City, yielded four hits and no runs, whilst fanning five; Matt Sauer, likewise recalled, subsequently relieved Knack and hurled the denouement of four innings, thereby securing his inaugural career save.
Miami's starting pitcher, Valente Bellozo, navigated 5 1/3 innings with consummate skill, ceding but a single hit and recording seven strikeouts, a performance of unassailable scoreless efficacy.
Emergent backstop Augustin Ramirez registered both a single and a double for the Marlins (14-22), who have now stumbled to a 2-9 record over their most recent eleven contests.
Jesús Sánchez's sixth-inning single proved a harbinger of his pivotal ninth-inning sacrifice fly, the sole offensive contribution that ultimately materialized for Miami.
The Dodgers decisively ruptured the equilibrium in the seventh against Bachar, whose entrance was met with a walk, a single, and a run-scoring single; thereafter, with first base unoccupied, Bachar intentionally issued a base on balls to Ohtani, preceding a further walk to Mookie Betts with the bases fully occupied, setting the stage for Freeman's subsequent bases-clearing triple, promptly succeeded by yet another run-producing single.
The Dodgers were held to a mere single through the opening five frames against Bellozo, subsequently erupting for eleven hits against a quartet of Miami's relief corps.
Thursday's Major League Baseball schedule features the commencement of a four-game set for the Dodgers in Arizona, where right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-2, 0.90 ERA) is slated to take the hill, while the Marlins have a scheduled off day before right-hander Max Meyer (2-3, 3.92 ERA) opens a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
