Hoping to avoid the sweep at the hands of the defending World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, the Marlins turned to Pablo López, the right-hander still searching for his first win of the season.
Early on, though, it appeared the momentum the Dodgers had in the first two games of the series would lead them to their fifth consecutive win as the team put two on the board off López in the second inning.
Los Angeles catcher Austin Barnes started the scoring with an RBI-double, his second of the series and just his second extra base hit since April 7th.
