Dodgers Edge Marlins

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Florida Marlins 6-4, their third straight win. Cody Ross staked the Marlins to an early 2-0 lead with a two-run homer, and Emilio Bonifacio added some insurance after he tripled and scored on a grounder. However, Casey Blake had his eighth home run of the season in the sixth, and immediately following Blake's bomb Xavier Paul connected for his first career blast to put LA within one. The Boys in Blue had the game from there, scoring a total of three runs in the sixth, two in the seventh, and one in the ninth. Blake also double, and Juan Pierre had the go-ahead two-run single in the seventh. Andre Ethier had two RBI, and James Loney had two hits and scored a run. Jonathan Broxton had his ninth save of the season, pitching a scoreless ninth. Jeremy Hermida had three hits for the Fish, and Hanley Ramirez doubled and drove in a run.
