Mariners' Fifth Inning Rally Falls Short Against Dodgers at T-Mobile Park

First Inning

The Seattle Mariners faced off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in a tightly contested game at T-Mobile Park. The Mariners, with a record of 90-71, were looking to improve their standing against the Dodgers, who held a 92-69 record. The game began with both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The first inning saw each team manage just one hit without scoring any runs.

Fifth Inning

The action picked up in the fifth inning when the Mariners mounted an impressive rally. Jorge Polanco was instrumental during this period, hitting a home run and driving in all three of Seattle's runs for that inning. This surge brought excitement to the home crowd and temporarily put the M’s ahead.

Seventh Inning

However, the Dodgers responded swiftly in subsequent innings. By the seventh inning, they had managed to tie up and then surpass Seattle's lead with a combination of strategic hits and solid base running that resulted in three additional runs over two innings.

Ninth Inning

In what became a decisive ninth inning for Los Angeles, they added two more runs to secure their victory over Seattle with a final score of 5-3. Despite efforts from players like Randy Arozarena who maintained an impressive batting average throughout his appearances, it wasn't enough for Emerald City to reclaim control.

Throughout this encounter, pitching played a crucial role on both sides. Logan Gilbert started strong for Seattle but ultimately couldn't hold back L.A.'s offensive push as Andrés Muñoz struggled out of relief.
