It wasn’t easy, but the Marlins were able to pull off the series (and season) win against the Dodgers. The final score, 6-5, reflects how much of a nail-biter this game was. Miami jumped out to a pretty solid lead at 5-1 through 5 innings of work courtesy of Elieser Hernandez. The Dodgers came storming back once the ball had been handed over to Junichi “Here We Go Again” Tazawa and Drew Steckenrider. The Marlins’ offense never slowed and the bullpen didn’t sacrifice a run from the 7th through the 9th innings.
Walker Buehler made his first big league start where he struck out seven in his first four innings.
