Propelled by Freddie Freeman's formidable offensive display, featuring a brace of singles and a bases-clearing triple, the Los Angeles Dodgers unequivocally routed the Miami Marlins, culminating in a resounding 10-1 victory on Wednesday.
Freeman's instrumental performance, highlighted by a four-RBI contribution and an extended 12-game hitting streak, underpinned the MLB-leading Dodgers' (25-12) acquisition of two victories out of a three-game set in Miami, concurrently securing their fourth consecutive series triumph. His exceptional offensive output throughout the series comprised an .615 batting average (8 for 13), six RBIs, and a pair of home runs.
Shohei Ohtani notched a triple and garnered three walks on Wednesday, notably an intentional base on balls amidst a decisive six-run eruption in the seventh inning against the reliever Lake Bachar.
Substitute batter James Outman augmented the Dodgers’ advantage with a three-run round-tripper in the ninth.
Having been elevated from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier on Wednesday, Landon Knack (2-0) yielded a mere four hits and remained unblemished in the earned runs column, whilst notching five strikeouts; Matt Sauer, similarly recalled, supplanted Knack and navigated the final four innings, thereby securing his inaugural career save.
Miami's starting pitcher, Valente Bellozo, proved exceptionally formidable, conceding a solitary hit and notching seven strikeouts across a commanding 5 1/3 scoreless innings; he was subsequently relieved by Cade Gibson after facing the initial batter of the sixth frame, thus circumventing a third encounter with Ohtani, who then emphatically tripled off Gibson (0-1) during the ensuing plate appearance.
Despite their recent precipitous decline to a dismal 2-9 record over their last eleven outings, the Marlins (14-22) saw rookie backstop Augustin Ramirez manage to notch both a single and a double.
Jesús Sánchez's sixth-inning single provided the initial impetus for Miami's sole scoring instance, which he ultimately actualized with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
The Dodgers decisively broke the game open in the seventh inning against Bachar, who, upon entering the game, conceded a walk, a single, and a subsequent run-scoring single. With first base unoccupied, Bachar deliberately issued an intentional walk to Ohtani before subsequently walking Mookie Betts with the bases already laden. This sequence culminated in Freeman's bases-clearing triple, immediately succeeded by yet another run-scoring single.
The Dodgers' offense remained largely dormant, mustering but a solitary hit across the initial five frames versus Bellozo, prior to unleashing an eleven-hit barrage upon four of Miami's relief pitchers.
The Dodgers commence a four-game engagement in Arizona on Thursday, featuring RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-2, 0.90) as their starting hurler; the Marlins observe a day of rest on Thursday before RHP Max Meyer (2-3, 3.92) takes the mound for the inaugural contest of a three-game set against the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
