A strong outing from Jack Flaherty, timely hitting, and poor play by Seattle leads Dodgers to another win over the Mariners.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he was already in “playoff mode” Wednesday, as his club continued to jockey for position in the crowded National League standings. Once October actually arrives, however, he can only hope their potential postseason foes will make life as easy on them as the Seattle Mariners did Wednesday night. In an 8-4, sweep-clinching defeat of the Mariners at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers got almost as much help from their opponents as they did themselves.
9 hitter Kevin Kiermaier — flipped the batting order to Shohei Ohtani, who walked, and Mookie Betts, who knocked in two runs with a double. In the fourth, Teoscar Hernández advanced from first base to second on a rare stolen base , then from second to third on a wild pitch, positioning him to score on a one-out sacrifice fly from Will Smith. Then, the game all but ended in a five-run fifth.
