The Dodgers did not make history on Sunday. No player hit for the cycle. No pitcher perfected his immaculate record. Rich Hill even let a Marlin reach base.
Despite the lack of momentous achievement, the Dodgers departed Marlins Park with their ninth victory in a row, a 3-2 triumph against an overmatched opponent. Justin Turner drove in a pair of runs early, and the offense snoozed through the rest of the afternoon. It did not matter.
Pitching at Marlins Park for the first time since last September, when he was removed after seven perfect innings because of concerns about the blisters on his left hand, Hill did not flirt with immortality.
