Kyle Tucker's Walk-Off Single Caps Dodgers' Rally Past Marlins

Kyle Tucker delivered a two-run walk-off single in the ninth inning on Monday, April 27, 2026, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-4 victory over the Miami Marlins at Dodger Stadium.
Trailing 4-2 heading into the bottom of the ninth, the Dodgers rallied with consecutive walks from Andy Pages and Dalton Rushing before Shohei Ohtani hit a ground-rule double to cut the deficit.
Playing on a four-year, $55 million contract, Tucker has faced early-season struggles but recently showed improved contact. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, "He needed it," after securing his first walk-off hit since 2023.
Marlins closer Pete Fairbanks exited with a thumb injury after intentionally walking Freddie Freeman to load the bases, leaving reliever Tyler Phillips to face Tucker with the game on the line.
The victory marks the Dodgers' third consecutive win, supported by four innings of scoreless relief pitching that held Miami scoreless. Ohtani scored the decisive run, continuing his recent offensive surge.
