Marlins Stun Dodgers in Dodger Stadium

Marlins Secure Gritty Victory Over Dodgers, Securing First Road Series Win Since 2018

The Miami Marlins pulled off a remarkable three-two win against the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. Liam Hicks and Esteury Ruiz hit crucial home runs, giving Miami their first series victory at Dodger Stadium since April 2018 and their first back-to-back road wins of the season.

Hicks started the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run, his team-leading seventh of the season and doubling his rookie total from last year. The Dodgers quickly tied the game with a sun glitch and an error, but Ruiz, a former Dodger, hit a solo home run in the fifth to regain the lead.

The Marlins secured the victory in the eighth inning when Xavier Edwards singled, advanced, and Javier Sanoja looped an RBI single. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the ninth with walks and an intentional pass to Shohei Ohtani, but Freddie Freeman grounded into a game-ending double play at second, confirmed after review.

Hicks bounced back from sitting out Tuesday due to illness, while Ruiz returned from a left oblique injury last Friday and even received his 2022 World Series ring before the series. Sandy Alcantara took the tough-luck no-decision after allowing two runs.

This road trip has been a success for the Marlins, demonstrating their ability to compete with the best teams when the pressure is on.
