The Miami Marlins outlasted the Los Angeles Dodgers 3–2 on April 29 at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium in a low-scoring affair that hinged on timely hitting. The Marlins' offense, though striking out 13 times, capitalized on two home runs to drive in three runs and secure the road victory despite managing just six hits overall. Los Angeles generated seven hits and drew six walks to reach a .350 on-base percentage, but managed only two runs and zero home runs, leaving runners stranded in a frustrating offensive performance. Dodgers starter struck out 13 batters while allowing six hits and three earned runs, posting a 3.19 ERA in what was otherwise a dominant pitching line undermined by run support. Miami's pitching staff limited the Dodgers to just two runs on seven hits while issuing six walks, though the 3.91 ERA suggested some inefficiency. The Marlins' ability to win despite a 13-strikeout effort underscores their power-dependent approach, while Los Angeles' inability to convert baserunners into runs signals potential offensive struggles moving forward.
