Marlins Avoid Sweep, Break Out Big Bats In 13-7 Win Over Dodgers

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — A tough week for the Miami Marlins got a nice reprieve during an afternoon game at Marlins Park.

The rout-filled Dodgers-Marlins season series ended Thursday, and look who’s laughing now.

Last-place Miami turned the tables on NL West leader Los Angeles, winning 13-7 despite giving up four home runs, including Cody Bellinger’s 40th.

“It wasn’t a good day of pitching for us,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.

Despite the drubbing, the Dodgers increased their homer total this week at pitcher-friendly Marlins Park to 14, a franchise record for a three-game series. Max Muncy hit his 29th, Corey Seager his 12th and Kyle Garlick his third.
