LOS ANGELES \u2014 Dalton Rushing hit a three-run homer, Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez added a solo shot and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The Mariners fell to 23-33 on the road, where they haven’t won a series since the end of May. They took the series opener 7-6, hitting five homers, before dropping the final two games.<\/p>\n
Roki Sasaki (5-5) dominated through the first five innings, allowing just two hits while working with a 5-0 lead. The right-hander wobbled in the sixth, giving up two runs, including one on a bases-loaded walk to Cal Raleigh, and three hits as the Mariners closed to 5-2.<\/p>\n
Reliever Jack Dreyer came in and struck out pinch-hitter Rob Refsnyder before Weston Wilson grounded out to end the threat. Freddie Freeman salvaged shortstop Mookie Betts’ errant throw with a leaping tag on Wilson for the third out.<\/p>\n
Pitching with his oversized bright yellow glove, Sasaki struck out seven over 5 1\/3 innings in reducing his ERA to 4.64, the lowest it’s been since early June.<\/p>\n
Dodgers leadoff hitter Tommy Edman went 0 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout while Shohei Ohtani sat out to rest his sore left knee.<\/p>\n
Kyle Tucker walked and Hern\u00e1ndez singled to set up Rushing’s 400-foot shot in the fourth, extending the lead to 5-0. It was the ninth of 13 homers given up by Mariners starter Bryan Woo (7-8) on the road this season. Hern\u00e1ndez went deep against reliever Alex Hoppe with two outs in the sixth.<\/p>\n
Betts’ two-run double staked the Dodgers to a 2-0 lead in the first.<\/p>\n
The Mariners got an RBI double by Randy Arozarena for their other run.<\/p>\n
Woo gave up five runs and five hits in five innings while striking out eight.<\/p>\n
