Overview

  • Los Angeles, already fixed as the NL No. 3 seed, rested multiple regulars yet held off Seattle 3-2 at T-Mobile Park before a capacity crowd.
  • Emmet Sheehan opened with one inning for the Dodgers, Roki Sasaki delivered a dominant seventh in relief, and Tanner Scott closed out the ninth for the save.
  • Seattle, tracking as the AL No. 2 seed with only a remote path to No. 1, used its standard lineup and kept George Kirby in for six innings.
  • The Mariners made a pregame change as Victor Robles was scratched for shoulder discomfort observations, inserting Dominic Canzone into the lineup.
  • Acting manager Dan Wilson said Bryce Miller will start Sunday, with the team undecided on a full start versus a shortened outing, and coverage noted a reported plan to shut down ROOT Sports after the season.
