MIAMI -- As the Dodgers were pounding the ball out of the yard this series at a record pace, the Marlins countered the old-fashioned way -- using a group effort to string together some timely hitting.

Brian Anderson, Jorge Alfaro, Lewis Brinson and Starlin Castro each drove in three runs, and the Marlins grinded out a 13-7 win over the Dodgers on Thursday at Marlins Park. They used a 13-hit attack, which included five doubles and no homers, to set their season-high mark for runs at home. Their season-best for runs overall is 16 at Milwaukee on June 4.

¡°Obviously, it took a lot of hits to get those runs,¡± Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. ¡°But it¡¯s who we are right now.¡±

In the Marlins¡¯ hitters meeting on Thursday, the message was to go on the attack. They didn¡¯t want to let starter Walker Buehler (10-3, 3.31) get to two strikes, especially after he had fanned 11 Marlins in a win on July 21 in Los Angeles.

¡°Walker has got a good fastball,¡± Brinson said. ¡°He¡¯s one of the best pitchers in our league, in the game. Period. We just wanted to attack. Come out of the gates swinging.¡±

According to Elias Sports Bureau, Thursday was the first time since July 5, 2006 at Washington that the Marlins had four players with at least three RBIs -- Miguel Cabrera had four and Dan Uggla, Josh Willingham and Wes Helms each had three.

¡°It¡¯s fun,¡± Brinson said. ¡°Especially against a team like that. They¡¯re putting up runs. We know we¡¯ve got to put up runs. We¡¯ve got to put up good at-bats against their pitching. Their pitching is great. In all three games we faced top-notch starters. We just knew we had to come out swinging, and we did.¡±

Miami salvaged the series finale, after dropping the first two to the National League West-leading Dodgers. Los Angeles won the season series, 5-1.

The game lasted four hours and seven minutes, making it the longest nine-inning game since Marlins Park opened in 2012.

Ranked last in the Majors in home runs with 100, the Marlins were able to tag Buehler for five runs in four-plus innings without going deep. They needed to keep adding on, though, because the Dodgers¡¯ explosive offense never let up, belting four home runs.

¡°Not a good one,¡± Buehler said of his start. "It's never fun to put our team in a situation like that. Put us in such a hole to start with."

Cody Bellinger blasted a three-run homer off Austin Brice in the seventh inning, his MLB-leading 40th. Max Muncy and Corey Seager each homered off Jose Quijada in the sixth, and Kyle Garlick recorded the first Dodgers¡¯ hit in the fifth inning with a solo home run off Caleb Smith (8-6, 3.63), who gave up one run in five innings and picked up the win.

The 14 homers for the Dodgers in the series were a franchise record for a three-game series. That outburst also tied the Braves for the most by an opponent at Marlins Park this year, but Atlanta did it in 10 games.

The finale also was a rare game in which the Marlins (45-75) were able to win without hitting a home run. They are 8-43 in games they don¡¯t go deep.

In the first two games of this series, the Marlins were outscored 24-2, but on Thursday afternoon, the offense woke up.

¡°We¡¯re always going to go out and compete,¡± Alfaro said. ¡°We¡¯re always going to go out and do our best. That¡¯s what we tried to do tonight, to go out there and keep competing. This team has the same mentality all the time. It¡¯s never quit.¡±

In the opening frame, Anderson¡¯s RBI single off Buehler gave the Marlins their first lead of the series.

But it was the six-run fifth inning that gave Miami some breathing room. The first eight hitters reached, with the inning starting off with Jon Berti being hit by a Buehler pitch for the second time in the game. Anderson delivered a two-run double, Alfaro had a run-scoring single and with the bases full, Brinson laced a two-run double to right-center.

Miami tacked on five more runs in the sixth, with Alfaro¡¯s two-run double being the big hit.

¡°You¡¯ve got to just keep swinging, keep battling,¡± Brinson said. ¡°We¡¯ve got to scratch out runs. We¡¯ve got a big ballpark. We¡¯ve got to scratch out runs like we did today.¡±
