The Marlins end the Dodgers' 11-game winning streak, with a 11-3 victory.

Jorge Soler smacked two of the Marlins' season-best five home runs against Tony Gonsolin, leading Miami to halt the Los Angeles Dodgers' impressive 11-game winning streak in a commanding 11-3 triumph on Friday night.

Contributing to the Marlins' power display, Jake Burger launched a three-run home run and Jacob Stallings followed suit with a two-run shot, driving in a total of six runs through three homers during the third inning.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. extended the Marlins' lead with a three-run blast in the fourth inning, ultimately forcing Gonsolin (8-5) out of the game after he conceded a career-worst 10 runs and managed only 10 outs.

Reflecting on the victory, Chisholm stated, "An 11-game winning streak can come to an end at any moment. We experienced an 11-game winning streak, and it was snapped. We entered with the mindset that we were going to disrupt their momentum."

Mookie Betts achieved a franchise milestone with his 11th leadoff home run of the season for the NL West-leading Dodgers. Despite this feat, the team experienced only their second loss in 17 games during August. The power display continued as Max Muncy and James Outman also contributed with home runs. This unexpected surge in power surprised Miami manager Skip Schumaker, a native of Southern California who had a closer connection to the Dodger Stadium through his 2013 stint with the Dodgers.

Schumaker remarked, "Both teams were making solid contact with the ball. The ball seemed to carry well tonight. It was a unique evening at Dodger Stadium."

The Los Angeles team couldn't recover from a disastrous start by their 2022 All-Star right-hander, Tony Gonsolin. Gonsolin's performance equaled Don Sutton’s 1973 record for the most home runs allowed in a start during the Dodgers’ era in Los Angeles.

Gonsolin had never surrendered more than two home runs in a single start, but he struggled precisely when the Dodgers needed him to provide innings. This outing marked the first of three consecutive games between these teams in slightly over a day.

Due to the anticipated arrival of Hurricane Hilary in Southern California on Sunday, MLB decided to reschedule both weekend games to Saturday, creating a split doubleheader. Tony Gonsolin's struggles on the mound forced the Dodgers to heavily rely on their bullpen, even deploying infielder Miguel Rojas as a pitcher in the ninth inning, where he delivered a flawless performance.

Reflecting on his performance, Gonsolin commented, "I felt my pitches were coming out well today. There were some really good pitches that I made. Unfortunately, some of those well-executed pitches were hit hard. All in all, it was a challenging day."

Following the game, Gonsolin finally admitted that he had been dealing with an elbow injury of some sort, potentially necessitating a break from the pitching rotation. Manager Dave Roberts had alluded to Gonsolin's health issues for several weeks, considering that Gonsolin had missed 40 games towards the end of the previous season due to forearm tightness.

Gonsolin expressed his uncertainty, stating, "I can't provide a definitive explanation right now. I'm not entirely sure about the nature of the issue, so I'm refraining from speculating."

Sandy Alcántara (6-4) surrendered three solo home runs over six innings, allowing seven hits for the Marlins. They kicked off a six-game West Coast journey with their first five-homer game since 2012.

Alcántara commented, "My offense surprised me today. It was a pleasant surprise, and it worked out really well."

Jorge Soler wasted no time, sending Gonsolin's second pitch of the evening into the right field stands. He followed up with a 441-foot blast to lead off the third inning, marking his 32nd home run in his most productive power season since his 48-homer season with Kansas City in 2019.

Just three batters later, Jake Burger crushed a poorly executed slider from Gonsolin, tallying his 27th home run of the season and his second since joining the Miami team.

Recognizing the demanding schedule ahead, the Dodgers opted to substitute Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman out of the game prior to the fifth inning, giving their top two hitters a rest.

In the fifth inning, Joey Wendle notched an RBI triple, taking advantage of Chris Taylor's misjudgment of his deep hit to left field.

Eury Perez (5-4, 3.19 ERA) is set to take the mound in the opening game of the doubleheader for the Miami team. On the other side, the Dodgers are planning a bullpen approach, with Ryan Pepiot expected to make his season debut. Pepiot had secured a spot in the rotation during spring training, but he was unfortunately held back for 3 1/2 months due to an oblique injury.

For the second game of the doubleheader, Julio Urías (10-6, 4.35 ERA) will be the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles squad. He will be facing off against Miami's Braxton Garrett (7-3, 3.91 ERA).
