Cody Bellinger set a new career high with 40 home runs and the Los Angeles Dodgers made franchise and MLB history but Walker Buehler labored through a short start and the Miami Marlins avoided a season sweep with a 13-7 victory.
Caleb Smith was hardly efficient but he completed four no-hit innings as the Marlins jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Smith benefitted from Lewis Brinson’s diving catch on a bang-bang play to not only end the fourth but prevent the Dodgers from having their first and but also scoring a run.
While it kept Smith’s bid for history alive, that was dashed shortly after as Kyle Garlick led off the fifth inning with his third home run of the season.
