With no one home, Mookie Betts scores go-ahead run in Dodgers' win over Marlins
, who had three hits, led off the bottom of the eighth with a triple to right. Trea Turner grounded out to third, Betts holding, and Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked.
Smith hit a grounder to the left of Miami third baseman Jon Berti, who didn’t think he had time to throw to second to start a potential double play. So Berti turned and looked toward the plate, where … nobody was home. Literally., thinking the play would be on the infield, had vacated the premises. He was straddling the dirt circle on the first-base side of the plate, allowing Betts to waltz home with the winning run.
Anderson had blanked the Marlins on three hits through six innings before giving up a leadoff double to Stallings in the seventh. After getting Charles Leblanc to pop out to first and striking out Peyton Burdick, Anderson caught too much of the plate with an 0-and-2 changeup that rookie Jerar Encarnacion drove to left-center for a double and a 1-0 lead.Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson gave up one run in seven innings and took a no-decision.
But Thompson lined a double just inside the left-field line and into the corner. Miami appeared to have a good shot at Turner, who was waved home by third-base coach Dino Ebel, but Encarnacion overthrew cutoff man Miguel Rojas, and Turner scored without a play for a 1-1 tie.
