LOS ANGELES -- Alex Wood threw 7 1/3 shutout innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Miami Marlins 7-2 in a game that featured a benching-clearing incident on Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Chris Taylor, Brett Eibner and Cody Bellinger homered for the Dodgers (25-18), who captured their third straight victory. Wood (5-0) allowed six hits with four strikeouts and two walks.

Eibner, who was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier Friday, was hit by a pitch from reliever AJ Ramos in the eighth. Dodgers reliever Ross Stripling's first pitch in the ninth hit leadoff batter Giancarlo Stanton in the lower back, resulting in players from both clubs charging toward each other.

Stripling, Marlins manager Don Mattingly and Dodgers bench coach Bob Geren were ejected.

Miami first baseman Justin Bour homered off reliever Chris Hatcher followed the skirmish to ruin the shutout. J.T. Riddle added a sacrifice fly for the game's final run.

Los Angeles shortstop Corey Seager went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk.

Marlins starter Justin Nicolino (0-1) gave up five runs on seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts in four innings.

Bellinger smacked a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth as the Dodgers handed the Marlins (14-27) their fifth consecutive loss and their 19th in the past 23 games.

Austin Barnes' infield single with the bases loaded scored Seager for a 1-0 Los Angeles' edge in the first inning.

Taylor's solo blast to right off a 2-0 pitch from Nicolino to open the third made it 2-0. For Taylor, it was his fifth homer of the season. Enrique Hernandez singled home Seager for a 3-0 advantage in the inning.

In the fourth, Eibner's two-run shot to right increased the margin to 5-0. It was Eibner's second homer of the season.

Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig, who was 0-for-1 with a walk, left the contest at the end of the fourth with lower-back tightness.
