Ohtani’s Leadoff Blast Powers Dodgers in High‑Scoring Affair Against Mariners

A 7‑6 loss marred by seven homers, including a late rally by Dominic Canzone, while other stars shine elsewhere

A Night of Fireworks at T‑Mobile Park

The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped a 7‑6 decision to the Seattle Mariners in a back‑and‑forth contest that was defined by the long ball. Seven homers were hit over nine innings, setting the stage for a dramatic finish.

Shohei Ohtani ignited the offense with his 10th leadoff homer of the season, a 432‑foot drive that put the Dodgers on the board early. He completed the game 3‑for‑4 with three RBIs and added an RBI double in the ninth inning to bring the visitors within one run.

Key Performances

The homer parade included Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez and Rob Refsnyder for Seattle, while Max Muncy and Dominic Canzone traded solo shots to knot the score at 5‑5. Canzone’s go‑ahead two‑run blast in the top of the eighth gave the Mariners a 7‑5 lead before Ohtani’s ninth‑inning RBI double narrowed the gap.

Other Notable Moments

Kazuma Okamoto’s 24th home run lifted the Toronto Blue Jays, and Seiya Suzuki’s 3‑for‑5 night helped the Chicago Cubs to a 10‑2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Both players added extra‑base hits that underscored their recent form.
