Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin delivers a strong performance in his return to the mound since 2023, with the team scoring 12 runs and amassing 17 hits in their 12-7 victory over the Marlins.
In Los Angeles, the revitalized Dodgers cruised to a 12-7 victory over the Miami Marlins, extending their winning streak to a mighty five games! The game-changer was the return of Tony Gonsolin from Tommy John surgery. In his first start since 2023, Gonsolin pitched a stellar six innings, allowing three runs and striking out nine.
The Dodger's 17 smashing hits propelled them to a 4-3 advantage in the sixth. Mookie Betts showcased his prowess with a two-run triple and Freddie Freeman followed suit with a two-run homer, pushing the lead to 8-3. Betts earlier contributed with a two-run single in the third inning.
Cal Quantrill took the loss, giving up four runs and six hits in a mere 3.2/3 innings. Kyle Stowers homered twice for the Marlins.
Max Muncy, known for averaging 32 homers a year in his five full seasons, smashed his first homer of the season off a fastball from Quantrill. With a measly .180 average and four RBIs in 28 games, Muncy also tripled in the seventh.
A key moment came in the ninth when Stowers hit his second homer, but Liam Hicks' three-run double was stopped by a diving catch from Teoscar Hernández. Hernández then raced to first base to end the game.
Hernández himself had a solid outing, with three hits and a batting average of .425 (17 for 40). His season stats include four homers, six doubles, 15 RBIs, and nine runs in his last nine games.
Looking forward, Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start the Dodgers' series opener at Atlanta on Friday. Meanwhile, the Marlins commence a three-game series on Friday against the visiting Athletics.
