The Miami Marlins stay in Los Angeles for the middle game of their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is set for 10:10 p.m. ET, with coverage on SportsNet LA and Marlins.TV. After Monday’s 5-4 Dodgers comeback win, Miami enters at 13-16 while Los Angeles moves to 20-9 and keeps control of the NL West. This is a tough bounce-back spot for the Marlins.

Thirty-six innings. More than a year. That’s how long it had been since the Cardinals scored against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. St. Louis quickly made up for lost time.

Yesavage began the season on the injured list with impingement in his right shoulder. He completed a minor league rehabilitation assignment, splitting four games (three starts) between Class-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo, going 0-1 with a 7.50 ERA. “He checked all of the boxes that we had hoped for,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “I wasn’t really looking at results, more looking at his stuff and the

Ryan Vilade had brief stints with four teams during his first three seasons in the majors. The 27-year-old outfielder looks as if he finally has found a home with the Tampa Bay Rays. Vilade is batting .458 (11-for-24) with a .500 on-base percentage over his past 10 games for the surging Rays. Tampa Bay continues its three-game series in Cleveland on Tuesday when Rays right-hander Nick Martinez (1-1, 2.10 ERA) takes on Guardians righty Tanner Bibee (0-3, 4.45). Vilade was the catalyst behind the Rays’ fifth consecutive win on Monday. He produced a career-high-tying three hits and had two RBIs, including the go-ahead single in the eighth inning off Hunter Gaddis. Tampa Bay overcame a two-run deficit to pull out
