Dodgers Cooled By Marlin Ace

Associated Press

Kevin Brown pitched his first career one-hitter, leading the Florida Marlins over Los Angeles 5-1 Wednesday night in Miami and sending the Dodgers to just their second loss in 13 games this month.

Brown (9-6), who no-hit San Francisco on June 10, faced just two batters over the minimum, allowing a leadoff single to left by Raul Mondesi in the fifth. Brown then retired his final 15 batters.

He struck out eight and walked one in his fourth complete game of the season. The Dodgers’ run was unearned; Brown has allowed one earned run or none in 10 of 20 starts.
