LOS ANGELES — – Dalton Rushing<\/a> hit a three-run homer, Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez added a solo shot and the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> beat the Seattle Mariners<\/a> 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<\/a> (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<\/a>, and three hits as the Mariners closed to 5-2.<\/p>\n

Reliever Jack Dreyer<\/a> came in and struck out pinch-hitter Rob Refsnyder<\/a> before Weston Wilson<\/a> grounded out to end the threat. Freddie Freeman<\/a> salvaged shortstop Mookie Betts<\/a>‘ 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<\/a> went 0 for 3 with a walk and a strikeout while Shohei Ohtani<\/a> sat out to rest his sore left knee.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker<\/a> 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<\/a> (7-8) on the road this season. Hern\u00e1ndez went deep against reliever Alex Hoppe<\/a> 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<\/a> for their other run.<\/p>\n

Woo gave up five runs and five hits in five innings while striking out eight.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Seattle RHP Bryce Miller<\/a> (4-5, 2.75 ERA) was set to start Friday at home against Minnesota RHP Zebby Matthews<\/a> (4-8, 5.21).<\/p>\n

Dodgers RHP Edgardo Henriquez<\/a> (4-1, 2.79) was scheduled to be the opener in a bullpen game to open the series Friday against Boston and LHP Ranger Suarez<\/a> (4-3, 3.02).<\/p>\n
