Game Breakdown: Mariners Edge Dodgers 7-6 in Stadium Thriller
Seattle used five home runs to overcome Los Angeles in a high-scoring series opener.
In a back-and-forth offensive shootout at Dodger Stadium, the Seattle Mariners launched a season-high five home runs to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-6 in the opening game of their three-game interleague series.[1][3]
Dominic Canzone delivered the game-winning hit in the top of the eighth inning, driving a two-run homer over the fence off Dodgers reliever Alex Vesia to erase a late deficit and hand Seattle the decisive advantage.[1][2]
Despite a stellar individual display from Shohei Ohtani—who finished 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBIs—the Dodgers bullpen could not preserve a temporary sixth-inning lead against Seattle's persistent power hitting.[1][3]

Inning Highlights & In-Game Momentum Shifts
A detailed chronological look at how the lead changed hands across nine innings.
Shohei Ohtani established early excitement by crushing a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning—his 10th leadoff home run of 2026—giving Los Angeles an immediate lead.[3]
Seattle quickly responded as Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez, and Rob Refsnyder connected on long balls against Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski, establishing a 4-3 lead for the visitors through five frames.[1][3]
The Dodgers rallied in the bottom of the sixth when Max Muncy homered and Ohtani singled in a run to put Los Angeles ahead 5-4. However, Seattle's relentless home run sequence culminated in Canzone's eighth-inning blast, setting up closer Andrés Muñoz to lock down the ninth inning for his 19th save.[1][2]
Player Analysis: Ohtani's Batting Power vs. Pitching Absence
Examining Ohtani's offensive contributions while tracking his pitching rehabilitation.
Ohtani's performance underscored his elite impact as a designated hitter. Reaching base four times with a home run, double, single, and walk, he raised his season total to 23 home runs while driving in three of the Dodgers' six runs.[3]
While Ohtani remains inactive on the mound due to ongoing elbow and lower-body health management, his designated hitter production continues to anchor the top of the Dodgers order without compromising his physical recovery timeline.[3]
