Gavin Stone struck out a career-high 10 batters over seven innings, while Gavin Lux and Max Muncy hit home runs in the seventh inning, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
The Dodgers have now won seven games in a row and have beaten the Mariners eight times in a row at home since 2015.
Stone (11-5), a 25-year-old right-handed pitcher, had eight strikeouts in the first four innings. He allowed singles to Julio Rodriguez and former Dodger Justin Turner, who was back at Dodger Stadium for the first time since leaving the team after the 2022 season.
Evan Phillips closed the game in the ninth inning to earn his 16th save.
Lux hit a home run off Bryan Woo (5-2) with one out in the seventh inning. Woo, a 24-year-old right-handed pitcher, left the game one batter later after hitting Will Smith.
Muncy then hit a two-run homer off former Dodger Yimi Garcia for his first home run since May 7. Muncy had just returned from the injured list on Monday after being out since May 17 with an oblique strain.
Woo gave up two runs and two hits in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five batters and walked two.
The Dodgers had only one hit, an opposite-field single by Shohei Ohtani, in the first inning before their big rally in the seventh. With two outs, they loaded the bases with Tommy Edman’s first single as a Dodger, followed by back-to-back walks to Ohtani and Mookie Betts. Freddie Freeman lined out to second base to end the inning.
Freeman played with a hairline fracture on his right middle finger. He made a smart play by catching a line drive from Josh Rojas and stepping on first base to double off Turner and end the fifth inning.
Freeman also made a great play in the sixth inning, leaping to catch a line drive from Cal Raleigh to end the inning.
