The game began promisingly for Seattle, as they jumped out to a 3-0 advantage. Miller, known for his recent success, kept the Dodgers scoreless for the first three innings. However, the Dodgers’ potent offense began to chip away at the lead, with Gavin Lux and Max Muncy hitting solo home runs in the fourth inning.

The Mariners’ bullpen, once a reliable source of stability, struggled in the late innings. Andrés Muñoz, a key reliever, surrendered a crucial three-run home run to Jason Heyward in the bottom of the eighth inning, giving the Dodgers a decisive lead.

Despite a late rally attempt, the Mariners were unable to overcome the deficit. The loss dropped their record to 45-32 and increased their chances of missing the playoffs. With time running out, the Mariners must find a way to turn their season around.
