MARLINS STEAL THE SERIES IN LOS ANGELES, EDGE DODGERS 3-2
Miami wins back-to-back road games for the first time this season, capturing its first series at Dodger Stadium since April 2018.
April 29, 2026 | Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles
The Miami Marlins secured their first series victory at Dodger Stadium in eight years, defeating the defending World Series champion Dodgers, 3-2, in a nail-biting finale on Wednesday. Backed by home runs from Liam Hicks and Esteury Ruiz, and a game-winning eighth-inning bloop single from Javier Sanoja, the Marlins showed resilience and timely execution to take two of three games in Los Angeles.
Hicks and Ruiz Lead the Charge
Liam Hicks, returning to the lineup after illness, launched his team-leading seventh home run of the season in the second inning to put Miami ahead early. Esteury Ruiz, facing his former team, added a solo shot in the fifth — his first hit and homer as a Marlin — to restore the lead after a Dodgers equalizer.
Late Drama Seals the Win
With the game tied 2-2 in the eighth, pinch-hitter Javier Sanoja floated a clutch RBI single to shallow center to score Xavier Edwards and give Miami the lead. Calvin Faucher earned his first career save in the ninth, escaping a bases-loaded jam with a bizarre unassisted double play by Edwards at second base to end the game.
Dodgers Slump Continues
Despite strong pitching from Tyler Glasnow and nine strikeouts, the Dodgers went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position, stranded nine baserunners, and failed to hit a home run for the entire series. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the team’s offensive struggles, which have plagued them over the last 10 days.
Miami heads home riding momentum, having won three of their last four, while Los Angeles prepares for a challenging six-game road trip to St. Louis and Houston.
