The Mariners beat the Dodgers 7-6 on July 28, picking up a much-needed win in the playoff race.
Seattle went toe-to-toe with one of baseball's top teams. Cal Raleigh homered in the second, Julio Rodríguez added another in the fourth, and Rob Refsnyder hit a two-run shot later that inning.
Then Dominic Canzone took over.
Canzone tied the game with a solo homer in the sixth, then put Seattle ahead for good with a two-run homer in the eighth.
He finished 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI.
What It Means
The Mariners improved to 53-55, while the Dodgers fell to 67-40.
BaseChaser lists Seattle at 30.5% to make the playoffs. That still leaves the Mariners with work to do, but a win over one of the safest teams on the board keeps them in the conversation.
For Seattle, this was not just a good win. It was the kind of result a team near the danger line needs when there is very little room left to waste.
