Marlins Victorious Over Dodgers

     The Miami Marlins once again surprised the defending National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 at Marlins Park on Tuesday night. The Fish have won three of the four contests against the Dodgers this season. The Dodgers extended their losing streak to five games.
     The Marlins got out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Martin Prado was able to score on a Logan Forsythe throwing error. Miami(15-26) made it 2-0 in the bottom of the second when Brian Anderson scored on a Miguel Rojas sacrifice fly to center field.
     Los Angeles(16-25) punched in a run in the top of the seventh inning. Yasiel Puig smashed a solo home run to left field on a 1-1 pitch to close the gap.
     The Fish answered back in the bottom of the frame. J.T. Realmuto knocked in Yadiel Rivera with a double into left field. Two batters later, Anderson got a base hit to right which brought in Realmuto.
     The Dodgers picked up another solo homer during the ninth. Cody Bellinger ripped a shot over the center-field wall on a 1-1 count.
