Marlins beat Dodgers 2-1 on wild pitch, error in 10th

MIAMI (AP) — Automatic runner Starling Marte advanced to third on Blake Treinen’s wild pitch and continued home when catcher Will Smith threw wildly past third base for a game-ending error in the 10th inning, giving the Miami Marlins a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.

Miami went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position but got a pair of unearned runs as the Dodgers made two of the game’s four errors.

Treinen (2-4) got two outs before bouncing an 0-1 slider that bounced away from Smith to the edge of the dirt circle on the first-base side of the plate, Smith’s throw bounced off the glove of third baseman Justin Turner to the low wall behind third base as Marte slid into third headfirst.

Marte, who started the inning on base under pandemic rules, got up and sprinted home as left fielder Zach McKinstry’s rushed throw home sailed over Smith as Marte slid in feetfirst.

“I was surprised that Star hadn’t taken off earlier,” Miami manager Don Mattingly said. "I thought he would try to run one of those first two hitters early in the count. Then that one bounces away, and it was over. That was a crazy ending.”

Smith’s error was the fourth by the Dodgers in two days.

“When I got to it, I saw Marte halfway,” Smith said. “I make a good throw he’s out. In hindsight I probably shouldn’t have thrown it.”

David Hess (2-0) pitched a one-hit 10th for his second consecutive win of the series.

Mattingly and Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts each used six relievers ahead of a likely bullpen game Wednesday.

“We got our outs, got the zeroes we needed,” Mattingly said. “We’re still running guys hard. I think the guys understand where we’re at. You’re looking at that 10th inning hoping to get it done there.”
