MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins won the series but the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers got in a parting shot.
For one afternoon, finally, the Dodgers were better than last.
Justin Turner tied a career high with five RBIs and Kenta Maeda pitched eight innings Thursday to help Los Angeles beat the Marlins 7-0 and end a streak of six consecutive losses, all against last-place teams.
With the win, the defending National League champions climbed out of the cellar themselves in the NL West. Rap music blared in the postgame clubhouse, a contrast to the somber atmosphere of late.
