Shohei Ohtani started on the mound for the Dodgers, but notably wasn’t included in LA’s lineup for the game. This was the second time the Dodgers left him out on a pitching day this season, with the first coming against the New York Mets earlier in the month.
Ohtani allowed a season-high two runs in the outing across six innings, and managed nine strikeouts. The two earned runs on the outing raised Ohtani’s ERA to 0.60 from 0.38 before the game, and now that he has risen into qualification he officially leads the Major League Baseball in ERA.

Los Angeles threatened to score first, putting Dalton Rushing on third and eventually loading the bases, but couldn’t put themselves on the board.
The Marlins scored first in the top of the second inning, when a sacrifice fly drove in Augustin Ramirez, who reached base on a hit by pitch and moved to third on a throwing error from Ohtani.

The Dodgers’ bullpen held it down beyond the sixth inning, with Blake Treinen, Tanner Scott and Jack Dreyer all posting zeroes to keep LA in the game.
Will Smith capitalized on a late-inning rally in the eighth to score the Dodgers’ first run of the game with one out, but Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy couldn’t add to the Dodgers’ total.

LA failed to get the offense going once more in the bottom of the ninth, and the Marlins managed to sneak the game to set up a rubber match on Wednesday.

Tyler Glasnow will start the final game of the series on Wednesday, and will look to swing things back into the Dodgers’ favor with another good start. The right-hander threw eight innings of shutout baseball his last time out, and is the perfect candidate to get the ball rolling for the Dodgers again.
The last game of the series comes Wednesday afternoon at 12:10 p.m. PT.
