Marlins vs. Dodgers Game Highlights (4/29/26) | MLB Highlights

The Marlins have a chance to do something they haven't done here since 2018. That would be win a series. Well in terms of pitching they save the best starting pitching matchup for last in this one. You have a former Cy Young award a winner in Sandy Alcantara for Miami and a potential Cy Young award winner for the Dodgers and Tyler Glass. Now last time out Tyler Glass now eight shutout innings to give up just one hit struck out nine walked only one. The Dodgers are 15 and 0 and Glass now his last 15 starts going back to last September. Yes he did. Couldn't check up on the curve ball. To start the day for Glass now three to to Kyle and that's inside ball for just the eighth walk of the season issued by Tyler Glass now on one ground ball towards short. Kim's got it he's got one play it's on the first base in time to get Lopez Stowers advances. And now the Marlins have a man in scoring position with two outs for Xavier Edwards ground ball right side. Freddie Freeman's got it with a backhand long toss to the long legged Tyler Glass now who gets there before the speedy Xavier Edwards and the sign is retired. There is no sugar coating it Sandy's not going to do it but he's had an awful time in his career against the Dodgers sporting a nine fifty seven yardage which balloons to fourteen point four six here at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani swings and misses. That was a slider bearing in and Ohtani strikes out to open Sandy's afternoon. There's one man going leaping throw off the bag and that'll be a base hit for Andy to a single for the Dodgers center fielder Kyle Tucker batting cleanup left-handed batter hitting two thirty nine hits a fly ball to Ruiz and left Sandy works around the two outs single here in the first pitch from Tyler Glass now to Liam Hicks. He turns on and hammers high in the air up to right Liam Hicks leaves no doubt. This is the Liam Hicks coming out of the party to homers this week in L.A. that's number seven on the year and he opens scoring on the first pitch of the second. It's one nothing fish to his seventh home run of the season a new career high just the second run that Glass now is allowed in just his fourth hit in his last sixteen innings of work. It is off the glove of a diving center fielder Jacob Marci around first and then the second with the leadoff double is Max Muncy in his fourth double of the season. Dave Roberts disappointment with the offense last night that they were not good point blank period with situational hitting. If you're not going to slug the ball then you have to be good in these types of spots. And last night they fumbled two great opportunities. So it's going to be up to Alex call one for one off the bench in the series opener. His first start of the series Paul pops it up on the infield at short base. Lopez can't see it in the sun and it drops. Here comes Muncy and the Dodgers have tied it. Otto Lopez is having an awful time at shortstop these last two games. The throws last night sun ball today first years his glove and his hand he's got the sunglasses on it appears and at some point in time he yelled Mayday and it was too late to get help. So new ball game tied at one every week spent last year in a Dodgers uniform. Yes he did. The three straight strikeouts for Tyler Glass now one on the third second time up for the top of the order. Jacob Marcy the center fielder. And did he go around Pele the third base umpire Clint Bondrake. He said he did. That's another curveball strikeout five in the game. Total four on the curve ball for Glasner swinging him his strike three slider down and in Glasner strikes out the side. He has six punch outs in the games inside ball for an Ohtani starts the inning with a lead off walk Ohtani aboard for Freddie Freeman. There goes Ohtani for second base pitches a strike throw is too high. So he's got a steal at his stolen base. Number four for Shohei Ohtani. And once again just like last inning the Dodgers have the leadoff man in scoring position right away Muncie double Ohtani the walk in a stolen base and they can't get him over to third Kyle Tucker's turn. It's inside ball for Tucker will take a two on one Max Muncie one for one with a double first extra base hit for the ninth inning in this series for the Dodgers. Here's a drive in the air to just missed the Alcantara strands of hair. Tyler Glass now back on the bump after striking out the side in the third he's got five consecutive case down on three pitches six in a row. Tyler Glass now the way that he shows this breaking ball the way it looks like a strike until it's not. I think that's where it's another level of impressiveness struck him out looking with a curveball strikeout number eight for Tyler Glass. Tyler Glass now he is two away from one thousand career strikeouts and the Alcantara ventures into his fourth inning to work. He's a lot of run on three hits O2 is in there for a called third strike a fastball at ninety nine miles an hour. And there's one man gone at Sandy's third punch up. Here's Kim that's picked out a hop by Lopez long throw to first got him. What a play by Otto probably still a little ripe after that pop up at the second and he just made up for it a little bit right there. Three two is in there for a called third a cutter on the outside edge freezes call and Sandy with his first one two three inning of the afternoon. The Marlins have been doing this all series. They've been getting that early jump. This time Glass now does throw over the Grand Valley is out two down a Sterling Ruiz hits a high fly ball the left field calls going back on the warning track for a Sterling Ruiz gives the Marlins the lead here in the S.T.A.U.R.I. Ruiz in his fourth at bat as a Marlin homers against his former team. Glass now is in disbelief. Backoff came at the right times it would have been a two run blast instead of a solo home run. Marlins back in front two to one here in the fifth. Glass now has faced twenty batters just more than seven balls in play eight strikeouts five walks to one that went in on his hands. He flares it into center field that drops in for a base hit. So Otto Lopez is a board and believe it or not that is the first non home run base hit for the Marlins today and it comes to open the top of the six. Otto Lopez takes off here's a throw to second from rushing not nearly in time stolen base for Otto Lopez good for his fifth of the year. Now the Marlins have a man in scoring position with nobody out. You've got the guy at the plate that you want. Edwards the ground ball hit softly to second but that'll get the job done. Edwards does his part as Lopez goes to third after his single stolen base. They're going to intentionally walk Liam Hicks set up a double play. Marlins on the corners one out Marlins obviously could use some insurance and Connor Norby will have that opportunity with first and third and one away. Swung on a miss strike three another slider nine strikeouts and career strikeout nine hundred ninety nine for Tyler Glass. Now he won't have a chance to get one thousand here at home today. The first time he hasn't made it to the sixth in a strike this season. And Alex Vecchia is coming on to pitch. He is not going to face Owen Casey. Here comes Mark Pryor to chat with Vecchia because Javier Sanoja is going to pinch hit here for the Marlins. So here is Javier Sanoja a three seventeen hitter for the Marlins this year. Swung on popped up middle of the infield calling for it has son Kim. He's got his sunglasses on reaches up makes the catch and the Marlins come up empty. No runs Tucker with a lead off double time running scoring position to start the six. Has it not been like clockwork in this spot over the last week or so. But a chance to tie the game at least here and that advances Tucker 90 feet down to third. So less than two outs you get two shots now to get him in and tie the game. Dalton Rushing coming to the plate. Sixteen runs batted in Rushing Flakes it to right field bottom of six to to a flare to right by Dalton Rushing and an O-two pitch. Finally Dodgers break through the runner in scoring position by this game up. Son Kim has grounded the short twice one out go ahead runs at first middle infield backs up to play for two and he walks it in the left center. That's a base hit. That's some Kim just reached for it. And it is the second to strike hit allowed this inning by Sandy Alcantara. Maybe the end is near for Sandy with Alex Paul coming to the plate activity in the Marlins bullpen. This is a critical juncture in this game. The bouncing ball towards third Pauly quick triggered a second for one for the first time in time. Dodgers have the go ahead run at third with two out now with Freeland come to the plate. This is probably Sandy's last hitter with a tiny coming up big old bounce or the second should get Sandy out of the inning and it will a quality start for Sandy Alcantara who gives up a run in the six. But that's all the good news is Marlins stay out of the double play and Edwards pushes into scoring position. And now Klein is on the verge of working around the lead off single. The Marlins need a huge two out hit from Javier Sanoja and Harvey lifts one into shallow right field trouble base hit Javier Sanoja and the Marlins lead three to it does not have to be hard hit. Sanoja reaches for a pitch low and away and he just got enough barrel on it to flick it in a shallow right and the Marlins up on the Dodgers three to the top of the eight. Well the Dodgers have not lost consecutive games at home all season in the Miami Marlins have not won a series in Los Angeles since two thousand and eighteen. And something's got to give here in the bottom of the ninth and it'll be up to Calvin Fossey to save this game something he has not done in the major leagues since September 20th of two thousand and twenty five. Outside ball for back to back walks and now the winning run is at first first and second no outs. Corners ready to crash Freeland at the plate puts it down the third base side nicely done. Go on to first the sacrifice works and now the Dodgers have a tying run at third and the winning run in scoring position and show hey Ohtani coming up. Ohtani doesn't even take a bat to home plate and they will walk in. Time run 90 feet away winning run on second one out Freddy Freeman. What do you got Freeman over for today with a double play. He tagged the runner and stepped on first. But one of the umpires saying here there is chaos and confusion on the field. They're calling it a double play. If he initially tagged the runner then stepped on the bat in the games and this game is going to be over Ohtani out of the baseline. So he's automatically out even though he tags him and then at the foot you see there it's the shoe and then he drags the foot as a double play just an insane double play. I've never seen a double play like that. I've never seen one like that either. They're just a crazy crazy double play. This game is over. This game is over and the Marlins are going to win their first series in Los Angeles for the first time since 2018.
