Dodgers 9, Marlins 7 (11): Dee Gordon recorded a career-high five hits with two RBIs and three stolen bases while Carl Crawford hammered a two-run homer to snap a tie in the 11th inning as visiting Los Angeles outlasted Miami.

Yasiel Puig belted a three-run homer, Matt Kemp had three hits and Juan Uribe added two singles and an RBI for the Dodgers, who blew a 7-2 lead before winning for the fourth time in five games. Brandon League (1-1) stranded the winning run on third in the 10th and also pitched a scoreless 11th for the win.

Marcell Ozuna hit three-run homer while Jeff Baker and Jeff Mathis each slammed solo blasts as the Marlins saw their seven-game home winning streak end. Carlos Marmol (0-2) walked Uribe to lead off the 11th before Crawford lined a 2-0 pitch into the right-field seats for his first of the season.

Gordon singled in a run and scored on Puig’s blast into the balcony in left-center field for a 6-2 lead in the fourth. Gordon knocked in another run in the sixth, but Mathis homered in the bottom of the inning and Ozuna lined his three-run shot over the left-field wall off reliever Brian Wilson in the seventh to pull the Marlins within 7-6.

With closer Kenley Jansen getting the night off, Chris Perez pitched the ninth for the Dodgers and Casey McGehee greeted him with his second double. After a walk and a Baker single, Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s bases-loaded walk tied it at 7 before Perez got the next two batters to send the game to extra innings.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Gordon is 8-for-11 to go along with three RBIs and four stolen bases in the series. … Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw completed a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to return to the rotation at Washington on Tuesday, according to reports. The two-time National League Cy Young award winner missed the last six weeks with a back injury. … Los Angeles starter LHP Paul Maholm allowed three runs on nine hits over six innings and Miami RHP Jacob Turner came off the disabled list to yield six runs on nine hits over the first four frames.
