Tucker carried the offense, opening the scoring with a sacrifice fly before later launching the biggest swing of the night. Blake Snell earned the win with a sharp start, and the Dodgers' pitching held the Marlins at bay.

Tommy Edman scored on Tucker's sacrifice fly in the third, giving Los Angeles the lead. Will Smith's single brought Kyle Tucker home in the sixth, while Agustín Ramírez's double brought Javier Sanoja across for Miami. In the seventh, Tucker hit a grand slam that brought home Tommy Edman, Max Muncy and Mookie Betts, extending the Dodgers' advantage. Owen Caissie's sacrifice fly brought Sanoja home in the eighth.

Ryan Gusto kept Miami within reach through the middle innings, but the Marlins could not answer after Tucker's grand slam. Miami's offense added only a pair of scoring plays, despite contributions from Javier Sanoja and Otto Lopez.

The Dodgers extended their winning streak, while the Marlins' losing streak continued. The game belonged to a quiet buildup followed by one overwhelming inning.
