LOS ANGELES -- The stunning, 80-game suspension of 2015 National League batting champion Dee Gordon for the use of performance-enhancing drugs overshadowed a surprising four-game sweep by the Miami Marlins over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.

"Dee Gordon is a very important part of our team, and we all love him and support him," Marlins president David Samson said outside the visitor's locker room at Dodger Stadium. "That said, I do not like or condone what he did. He is an important member of this organization and will be for many years to come.

"It is a huge, huge disappointment to the kids, to our fans, to his teammates and to everyone in our organization who works hard every single day to put a product on the field and off the field that all Miamians can be proud of."

Gordon had already left the locker room by the time the media was allowed to enter.

Don Mattingly, who managed Gordon during his time with the Dodgers before being reuniting with him in Miami this season, was equally shocked by the development.

"Obviously, two very different ends of the spectrum for us," Mattingly said. "You would expect our guys to be in there all excited, and then we get this news. Not quite the feeling, but from there, we'll support Dee.

"These guys love Dee, and I feel like he's one of my kids, I've known him so long. We're going to love him, and then we're going to move forward. Definitely shocked and surprised."

Before Gordon's suspension was made public, Giancarlo Stanton and J.T. Realmuto homered, and the Marlins earned their first four-game sweep of the Dodgers with a 5-3 victory Dodger Stadium.

A three-run, seventh-inning rally boosted the Marlins, who won their fifth in a row.

Gordon's RBI single to left initiated the comeback, plating Realmuto to knot the score at 2 with two outs in the seventh. That chased Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda, who wound up charged with a season-high four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk in 6 2/3 innings.

Maeda (3-1) allowed just one run in his previous four starts covering 25 1/3 innings.

Pedro Baez relieved Maeda, and he served up a run-scoring single to Martin Prado for a 3-2 Miami edge. A balk by Baez scored Gordon to put the Marlins up by two.

In the bottom of the seventh, Los Angeles pinch hitter Justin Turner got a leadoff base hit and Chase Utley was hit by a pitch from reliever Kyle Barraclough with one out. After Corey Seager struck out, Adrian Gonzalez hit a grounder to second baseman Gordon, who booted it for an error. However, first baseman Justin Bour threw out Utley, who was heading for third before retreating to second, to end the inning.

Stanton led off the eighth with his seventh home run of the season and his 13th career dinger against the Dodgers, depositing a shot to right-center to push the margin to 5-2.

Miami's Jose Fernandez (2-2) struck out eight and walked three, allowing two runs on five hits in six innings. Closer A.J. Ramos surrendered a run and two hits in the ninth before recording his sixth save in as many opportunities.

Prado collected three hits for Miami (10-11), and Realmuto had two.

Seager and Turner both had two hits for Los Angeles (12-11).

In the first, Utley led off with a single and Yasmani Grandal lined an one-out RBI double off the wall in center for a 1-0 Dodgers lead. Yasiel Puig followed by blooping an infield single just past the mound that Gordon was unable to reach. That brought home Seager for a 2-0 advantage.

Realmuto hammered a Maeda fastball for a solo homer to right-center to cut the deficit in half with two outs in the second. It was Realmuto's second home run of the season.
