Bullpen Falters in Loss

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the Florida Marlins 6-3, snapping a five-game winning streak. The Dodgers tied the game in the bottom of the six, but with two out, the bullpen gave up a single, walk and single that gave Florida the lead for good. They would then score two more insurence runs in the eighth off Ramon Troncoso. Andre Ethier doubled twice and drove in two runs, and Casey Blake tripled and scored a run. Emilio Bonifacio had two hits and two runs scored for the Fish, and Hanley Ramirez scored a run. Chris Coghlan had a home run.
