The offense got started in the 4th inning for the Dodgers. Justin Turner reached on a fielder’s choice that brought in Howie Kendrick. This gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.
In the 7th inning Marcell Ozuna hit a solo shot to left field to tie the game at 1-1. This was his 3rd home run of the year.
The Dodgers answered back in the bottom half of the inning when Joc Pederson hit a RBI single to center field that brought in Van Slyke. This gave the Dodgers a 2-1 lead heading into the 8th.
In the 9th inning Yimi Garcia came on to close the game out. Christian Yelich had other ideas as he hit a 2-run blast to left field to give the Marlins a 3-2 lead.
With the Dodgers backs against the ropes Van Slyke delivered the hit of the night. His three run shot off of Steve Cishek brought in Enrique Hernandez and Andre Ethier and the Dodgers won in walk-off fashion 5-3.
