Marlins Take Dodgers

     Pitching dominated as the Miami Marlins dropped the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. The Fish snapped a five-game losing streak with the victory.
     Matt Kemp led off the bottom of the second for Los Angeles(11-11) versus Dillon Peters with a double into deep left field. Austin Barnes followed and doubled to right field which score Kemp. Peters pitched for 5 1/3 innings and surrendered one run on four hits.
     In the third inning, Miami(6-17) answered back quickly to tie the game 1-1. J.T. Realmuto came up to the plate against Kenta Maeda with two out and connected on the first pitch for a solo home run to right-center field. Maeda went six innings, struck out seven and allowed one run on four hits.
     The Dodgers were able to load the bases in the seventh inning. They regained the lead when Chase Utley walked to score Joc Pederson.
     The Marlins responded in the next inning to pull even again. Starlin Castro ripped a double through the left side of the field for Derek Dietrich to advance from second and score.
     It was the same for Miami in the top of the ninth as they took the lead for the first time in the contest. Brian Anderson got a lead-off base hit into left field. Cameron Maybin then lined a double to the left-field fence and Anderson crossed the plate.
