Game Recap
The Los Angeles Dodgers blew a five-run lead before rallying to beat the Miami Marlins 7-6 in extra innings on Monday night. Tommy Edman hit a two-run single in the 10th inning, securing the win for the Dodgers.
Early Game Action
Teoscar Hernández homered in his third consecutive game for the Dodgers, who opened a three-game series with their third straight win. Dane Myers delivered a pinch-hit grand slam as Miami rallied from a five-run deficit in the sixth. The Marlins went up 6-5 in the 10th on Jesús Sánchez’s RBI double off Kirby Yates (3-1).
Turning Point
But then Andy Pages drew a leadoff walk from Ronny Henriquez (1-1) in the bottom half, and Kiké Hernández bunted both runners over before Edman’s drive to right comfortably scored Michael Conforto and Pages.
Pitching Performance
Dustin May yielded three runs on five singles and three walks while pitching into the sixth for the Dodgers. He has lasted at least five innings in all five starts since his return from a nearly two-year injury absence, providing stability to an ailing rotation that took another blow Monday when Tyler Glasnow went on the injured list. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts had early RBI singles before Miguel Rojas added a two-out RBI double in the fourth against the team with which he spent eight seasons.
