Freddie Freeman's prodigious performance, featuring a pair of singles and a bases-clearing triple, propelled the Los Angeles Dodgers to an emphatic 10-1 trouncing of the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.
Freeman's formidable contribution, driving in four runs and prolonging his hitting streak to twelve games, was instrumental in the MLB-leading Dodgers' (25-12) series victory at Miami, where they secured two of three contests, thereby extending their streak of consecutive series wins to four; Freeman's personal offensive prowess throughout the series was evidenced by his .615 batting average (8 for 13), coupled with six RBIs and a pair of home runs.
Shohei Ohtani laced a triple and gleaned three bases on balls Wednesday, amongst which was an intentional pass during a six-run seventh frame against the reliever Lake Bachar.
Substitutional batter James Outman augmented the Dodgers' advantage with a trey in the ninth.
Landon Knack (2-0) yielded four hits and no runs whilst fanning five after being elevated earlier Wednesday from Triple-A Oklahoma City; Matt Sauer, likewise recalled, provided relief for Knack and hurled the final four innings en route to his maiden career save.
Miami's nascent hurler, Valente Bellozo, proved a formidable bulwark on the mound, yielding but a singular hit and notching seven strikeouts across an unblemished 5 1/3 frames, before being supplanted by Cade Gibson upon the advent of the sixth inning's inaugural batter, thereby circumventing a third confrontation with the imposing Ohtani, who subsequently launched a triple against the beleaguered Gibson (0-1) in the ensuing plate appearance.
The nascent backstop, Augustin Ramirez, managed to register both a single and a double for the Marlins (14-22), a club whose recent form has seen them precipitously decline to a meagre 2-9 record over their last eleven fixtures.
Jesús Sánchez's sixth-inning single and subsequent ninth-inning sacrifice fly epitomized the entirety of Miami's meager offensive output.
In the seventh inning, the Dodgers comprehensively exploited Bachar's relief appearance, initiating their decisive offensive surge with a walk, a subsequent single, and a crucial run-scoring single, thereby strategically leaving first base unoccupied; Bachar then deliberately issued an intentional walk to Ohtani before conceding a bases-loaded walk to Mookie Betts, an untenable predicament exacerbated by Freeman's ensuing bases-clearing triple, which was immediately followed by yet another pivotal run-scoring single.
The Dodgers' offensive output remained subdued, yielding but a solitary base hit through the initial five frames against Bellozo, a stark contrast to the eleven yielded thereafter from a quartet of Miami's relief pitchers.
Commencing their four-game set in Arizona on Thursday, the Dodgers will entrust the mound to the formidable right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-2, 0.90). Concurrently, the Marlins, enjoying a day of respite on Thursday, are scheduled to initiate a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox on Friday, with right-hander Max Meyer (2-3, 3.92) taking the hill.
