Graham Pauley hits 2-run homer to help Marlins beat Dodgers 4-3 and snap 4-game skid

MIAMI (AP) — Graham Pauley hit a two-run homer, Griffin Conine and Otto Lopez both reached four times and the Miami Marlins overcame an early deficit to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3 on Saturday afternoon.

The win snapped a four-game skid for the Marlins and ended a season-high eight-game win streak for the NL West-leading Dodgers, who still have a comfortable division lead over second-place San Diego.

Lopez had two hits and reached on a hit-by-pitch and a walk. Conine singled twice, doubled and walked for the Marlins, who are third in the NL East.

The Marlins pulled within one in the ninth against closer Pete Fairbanks. Josue De Paula drew a two-out, four-pitch walk, advanced on defensive indifference and scored on Hunter Feduccia's single to make it 4-3. Fairbanks then retired pinch-hitter Will Smith on a line out for his 19th save.

Pauley's drive to right-center against Tyler Glasnow (4-1) tied it 2-2 in the second before Lopez's go-ahead RBI single. Glasnow allowed four runs, five hits and struck out seven over four innings.

The Dodgers took an early 2-0 lead on back-to-back home runs by Mookie Betts and Max Muncy in the first but were limited to just two hits the rest of the game.

Betts drove a 2-2 splitter from Tyler Phillips 399 feet to left-center for his 20th homer of the season. Muncy connected on a 1-1 sinker for his 28th.

Phillips struck out three and walked three over 3 2/3 innings before being lifted in the fourth at 68 pitches. Cade Gibson (4-1) got four outs in 1 1/3 innings of relief for the win.

Esteury Ruiz replaced Owen Caissie in the third after the right fielder left with right hamstring tightness after drawing a walk and scoring on Pauley's homer.

Dodgers RHP Emmet Sheehan (5-8, 5.08) will start Sunday's series finale against Marlins RHP Eury Pérez (7-11, 3.94).

SEATTLE (AP) — Freshman Ansu Sanoe capped his first career drive with No. 19 Washington's lone touchdown and the Huskies overcame another slow start to beat Utah State 16-14 on Saturday.

Sanoe dove into the end zone from a yard out with 6:44 remaining in the second quarter to punctuate an eight-play, 65-yard drive and give the Huskies (2-0) a 10-7 lead. Those would be the game’s last points until Tyler Robles made a 26-yard field goal with 12:54 to go in the fourth to stretch the lead to six points.

Grady Brosterhous, a transfer from Virginia, made his first career start for Utah State (0-2) and finished with 196 yards through the air and 81 on the ground. He hit Eli Wood for a 7-yard touchdown strike with 1:50 to go. The Aggies — coming off a 29-17 home loss to FCS Idaho State — got the ball back with 47 seconds left, but Washington had an interception on the goal line as time expired.

Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. was 26 of 41 for 249 yards and also ran for 56 yards.

Freshman tailback Brian Bonner made his first career start for Washington and finished with 22 yards on seven carries, while Trey Cooley added 22 yards. Quaid Carr and Jayden Limar, the top two tailbacks on the Huskies’ depth chart, both suffered injuries in last Sunday in the Apple Cup against Washington State.

Carr, who underwent surgery on his left hand, won’t return until the end of the season at the earliest. Limar, a transfer from Oregon, could return sooner from a right elbow injury.

Robles put the Huskies on the board with a 30-yard field goal, but Utah State responded immediately, with Brosterhous hitting Javon Robinson for a 78-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the following drive.

Utah State: At No. 20 Utah next Saturday.

Washington: Hosts Eastern Washington next Sarurday.
