Game 118 - Miami Marlins at Los Angeles Dodgers

May 11 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA

What a night for Scott Van Slyke.

The Dodgers' left fielder did the following things on Monday:

1. Led off the fifth with a double.
2. In a 1-1 game in the seventh, caught a line drive and threw the potential go-ahead run out at the plate - Christian Yelich - to end the inning.
3. Singled on the ninth pitch of his seventh inning at bat and came around to score and put LA up 2-1.
4. After Yelich had given the Marlins a 3-2 lead with a dramatic, two-run home run in the top of the ninth, Van Slyke delivered an even more dramatic, walk-off, three-run blast in the bottom half. Dodgers win 5-3.

* In eight of Steve Cishek's 13 appearances out of the Miami bullpen, the side-armer hasn't allowed a run. The issue Miami has is with the other five appearances. After allowing Van Slyke's walk-off, Cishek now has four outings where he's allowed at least two runs and his ERA rose to 10.32 after this one. The good news: May 12 Steve Cishek is a lot better than April 8 Steve Cishek (108.00 ERA after allowing four runs in his first 1/3 of an inning).
