The Dodgers built their lead early and never let go. Andy Pages opened the scoring with a home run in the first, and Los Angeles added a run in nearly every inning that followed while Eric Lauer kept the Mariners off the board deep into the game. Los Angeles won 4-2 at Dodger Stadium.

Lauer worked six innings, allowing just 1 hit and 0 runs while walking 1 and striking out 4 on 87 pitches. He turned the ball over to the bullpen with the lead firmly in hand, and Edwin Diaz closed it out with a save, his 5th of the season, despite allowing 1 run in the ninth. The bullpen as a whole covered 3.0 innings, allowing 2 runs.
Pages started things with a solo homer to left in the first inning, a 372-foot shot that put the Dodgers up 0-1 and set the tone. Los Angeles kept adding on: Freddie Freeman's infield single in the third brought home Ohtani, Pages reached on an infield single in the fourth to score Betts, and Shohei Ohtani doubled to center in the sixth to drive in Rushing. By the time Seattle's bats got going, the deficit was too much to overcome.
Emerson Hancock took the loss for Seattle, allowing 3 runs on 8 hits over 5.0 innings with 5 strikeouts. The Mariners managed only 5 hits on the night and did not score until the eighth, when Cole Young's single brought home We. Wilson, and a Josh Naylor double in the ninth scored Dominic Canzone. Neither rally threatened to change the outcome.
The win moved Los Angeles to 68-40, extending its winning streak, and kept the Dodgers atop their division. Seattle fell to 53-56 with the loss.
