LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — Janson Junk delivered six scoreless innings and the Miami Marlins held off the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, evening the two-game series after a one-run loss a day earlier.

The Marlins improved to 14-16 with the victory, while the Dodgers fell to 20-10. Attendance was 51,909, and the game lasted 2 hours, 38 minutes.

Junk scattered three hits, struck out four and walked none in his second consecutive quality start. The right-hander, who earned his second win against two losses this season, allowed only one runner to reach scoring position during his outing. He retired the side in order in the second, third and sixth innings and faced just one batter over the minimum through six frames.

Shohei Ohtani took the loss for Los Angeles despite a dominant performance of his own. The Dodgers’ right-hander struck out nine over six innings, allowing five hits and one earned run. He walked two and hit a batter. Ohtani fell to 2-1 on the season.

Tyler Phillips earned his second save of the year by working a scoreless ninth inning. He allowed one hit and struck out none.

The Marlins struck first in the top of the second inning. Agustín Ramírez was hit by an Ohtani pitch to lead off the frame. After Connor Norby struck out, Owen Caissie lifted a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Ramírez and giving Miami a 1-0 lead.

Miami added a run in the fifth inning. Christopher Morel drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jakob Marsee and scored on a single to right field by Kyle Stowers. Otto Lopez followed with a single, and Xavier Edwards walked to load the bases, but Ohtani struck out Ramírez to end the inning.

The Dodgers’ best threat came in the eighth inning against the Miami bullpen. Anthony Bender had worked a 1-2-3 seventh inning, but John King ran into trouble in the eighth. Alex Freeland singled to left, and Dalton Rushing reached on a fielder’s choice that erased Freeland at second. Freddie Freeman singled to right, sending Rushing to third. Will Smith then lined a single to right field, scoring Rushing to cut the deficit to 2-1. Freeman advanced to third on the play, but Kyle Tucker popped out and Max Muncy grounded out to first to end the inning.

Los Angeles mounted a final rally in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Andy Pages singled up the middle off Phillips. Hyeseong Kim flied out to left, and Alex Freeland grounded out to first baseman Graham Pauley, who flipped to Phillips covering the bag to end the game.

Otto Lopez led the Marlins’ offense with three hits in five at-bats, including a double in the first inning. Stowers had two hits and drove in the decisive run.

Smith led the Dodgers with three hits in four at-bats, accounting for the team’s only RBI. Freeland and Freeman each had two hits.

The game featured a notable call overturned in the top of the first inning. Will Smith, the Dodgers’ catcher, challenged a pitch result, and the call was reversed, resulting in Marsee being called out on strikes.

Both starting pitchers were efficient early. Junk retired the first six batters he faced after an error in the first inning allowed a runner to reach second. Ohtani struck out the side in the third inning, fanning Marsee, Stowers and Norby.

Miami’s bullpen combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Anthony Bender worked a perfect seventh, striking out one. King allowed one hit and one run in two-thirds of an inning. Phillips closed the door with a hit and a walk allowed but no further damage.

The Dodgers’ relievers also kept the game close. Tanner Scott pitched a scoreless seventh, allowing one hit and striking out one. Blake Treinen worked a scoreless eighth, giving up one hit and striking out one. Jack Dreyer struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit.

The Marlins produced eight hits in the game, while the Dodgers managed seven. Miami pitchers threw 20 strikes, 51 balls and recorded 20 balls in play. Los Angeles pitchers threw 6 strikes, 24 balls and recorded 6 balls in play.

The victory provided Miami with a split of the two-game set after losing the opener 5-4 the previous night. The Marlins had dropped four of their past five games before Tuesday’s win.

Los Angeles had won five of its previous seven contests.

The most critical sequence of the game occurred in the top of the fifth inning. With the score 1-0, Morel’s walk, Marsee’s sacrifice bunt and Stowers’ run-scoring single extended the lead to 2-0. That margin proved decisive when the Dodgers answered with only one run in the eighth.

Junk’s performance marked his second straight start without allowing an earned run. In his previous outing against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 22, he pitched five scoreless innings in a 4-1 win. He had allowed three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to Milwaukee on April 17.

The Marlins next face the Dodgers on Wednesday night in the final game of the series before returning home for a 10-game homestand against the Philadelphia Phillies, Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals. The Dodgers will travel to St. Louis for a three-game series starting Friday.
