Graham Pauley hits two-run homer to help Marlins defeat Dodgers four to three.

The Miami Marlins beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3, snapping a four-game losing streak and handing the Dodgers their first loss after an eight-game winning run, according to AP Sports. Graham Pauley's two-run homer proved to be the difference in a come-from-behind victory that saw the Marlins overcome an early deficit.
The Dodgers jumped out to a 2-0 lead with back-to-back home runs from Mookie Betts and Max Muncy in the first inning. But the Marlins' offense chipped away, with Griffin Conine and Otto Lopez each reaching base four times to power the comeback, SFGATE reported.
Graham Pauley's two-run homer was the key blow in Miami's comeback win. Yahoo Sports noted that despite the Dodgers' quick 2-0 start on homers by Mookie Betts and Max Muncy, the Marlins' bats stayed patient and found their rhythm. Conine and Lopez were forces throughout the game, each recording four hits to keep the Dodgers' pitching off balance.
Tyler Glasnow's pitching woes led to the Dodgers' collapse. The ace allowed four runs and five hits while striking out seven over just four innings, unable to navigate through Miami's offensive attack. His early exit forced Los Angeles to rely on their bullpen for the remainder of the game, a disadvantage they couldn't overcome.
The victory gave Miami much-needed momentum after dropping four straight games, according to WRAL. For the Dodgers, the loss snapped their season-high eight-game winning streak and marked their first defeat in recent competition. The Marlins, sitting third in the NL East, showed they can compete with the division's top teams when their lineup gets hot.
