Muncy had his second three-hit game of the season. The first baseman extended Los Angeles' lead to 3-0 in the fifth with an RBI single. He is 8 for 14 with seven RBIs during the homestand and has raised his batting average 42 points to .261.
Miami's Jordan Holloway (1-2) didn't allow a hit the first three innings, but ran into trouble in the fourth. Justin Turner and Muncy started off the inning with singles and Will Smith drew a walk to load the bases. Turner scored when Chris Taylor drew a bases-loaded walk, which ended Holloway's night. Muncy extended the lead to 2-0 when he came home on Gavin Lux's grounder to second.
The Marlins, who are 2-4 on their 10-game road trip, were held to two hits for the second time this season.
Los Angeles extended its lead to 4-0 in the fifth when Taylor's groundout plated Sheldon Neuse.
The Dodgers added three more in the eighth. Pinch-hitter DJ Peters' bases-loaded single drove in two and Mookie Betts' sacrifice fly to center scored Lux.
MORE INJURY WOES?
Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager left in the fifth inning after getting hit in the right hand by Ross Detwiler.
NOT AMUSED
Plate umpire Chad Fairchild had a short fuse when it came to anyone arguing balls and strikes. Fairchild ejected Marlins hitting coach Eric Duncan in the second and Dodgers outfielder Matt Beaty in the fourth after both took exception to called third strikes.
PUJOLS POWER
The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to sign veteran first baseman Albert Pujols to a major league deal.
The source spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the deal isn't expected to be finalized until Monday. The Los Angeles Times first reported the agreement.
The 41-year-old Pujols left the Los Angeles Angels earlier this month after nearly 10 seasons with the Dodgers' Orange County rivals. The oldest player in the majors batted .198 this season with five homers and 12 RBIs for the Angels.
Pujols was in the final season of a 10-year, $240 million contract with the Angels, who didn't win a playoff game during his tenure.
NEW BLOOD
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired infielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo from the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday for a player to be named or cash.
The 29-year old Tsutsugo has struggled in the majors since coming over from Japan. He has a .187 batting average in two seasons, including .167 in 27 games with Tampa Bay this season. Tsutsugo also had no home runs and 27 strikeouts in 87 plate appearances.
The defending World Series champions have been seeking veteran role players as they have struggled with injuries throughout the season. Tsutsugo can also play the outfield for the Dodgers, who also reportedly agreed to terms with Albert Pujols on Saturday.
To make room for Tsutsugo on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred infielder Edwin Ríos to the 60-day injured list. Ríos will be undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery next week.
The Rays made another trade earlier, dealing right-hander Hunter Strickland to the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named or cash after activating first baseman Ji-Man Choi from the injured list.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Marlins: Jazz Chisholm, who has been on the injured list since April 28 with a left hamstring strain, arrived in Los Angeles but has not been activated. The infielder was on a rehab stint with Triple-A Jacksonville. ... RHP Cody Poteet was optioned to Jacksonville after LHP Braxton Garrett was called up.
Dodgers: AJ Pollock was placed on the injured list before the game after the outfielder strained a hamstring Friday. Manager Dave Roberts said Pollock will be out at least 2-3 weeks. RHP Edwin Uceta was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Pollock’s roster spot. ... IF Edwin Rios will undergo season-ending surgery next week to repair a partially torn labrum in his right shoulder.
UP NEXT
Miami RHP Pablo López (0-3, 3.07 ERA) looks to bounce back after allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings last Tuesday at Arizona. The Dodgers had not announced their starter for the series finale.
