A most unusual occurrence − the Los Angeles Dodgers losing a series at home to the Miami Marlins − ended in a most unusual fashion: An unassisted double play from the second baseman.

Xavier Edwards and the Marlins made it happen, though, as the Marlins pushed across an eighth-inning run and held on for a 3-2 victory that ended when Edwards bagged superstars Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman at first to end it.

The situation: Freeman chopped a ball toward first base that Edwards fielded in the basepath. Ohtani realized that if he'd continue running, Edwards would have an easy double play by tagging him out and tossing to first.

So Ohtani froze in the basepaths and then shuffled back toward first, trying and failing to twist away from Edwards' tag attempt. Meanwhile, Freeman was lumbering down the line.

Edwards' deft manuevering resulted in a tag of Ohtani and, not breaking stride, a tap of the first base bag with his right foot a step ahead of Freeman to end the game. He spiked his first baseman, Connor Norby, in the process, but the Marlins were otherwise safely out of town.
