Marlins edge Dodgers 3-2

The Miami Marlins secured a surprise series victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers following a tense 3-2 win on Wednesday night.

Rookie Javier Sanoja delivered the game-winning hit in the eighth inning, a bloop single that drove in the go-ahead run.

The Dodgers' high-powered offense struggled to capitalize on early opportunities, continuing a recent slump that has seen their division lead shrink to just half a game.

The result highlights the growing parity in the NL West as the Marlins continue to punch above their weight against the league's biggest spenders.
