The Dodgers’ offense came into Wednesday night’s matchup against the Mariners steamrolling opponents.

The Dodgers led the Major Leagues in run differential, home runs, runs, total bases and RBIs. They ranked among the Major League leaders in slugging percentage, OPS, hits, OBP and walks. And they did it without major contributions from Cody Bellinger, Max Muncy and Joc Pederson.

On Wednesday, those three all hit home runs in a 6-4 loss to the Mariners at T-Mobile Park, a defeat that snapped a seven-game winning streak. It’s just a matter of time before the Dodgers return to the win column. But they are going to need Bellinger, Muncy and Pederson to meet their lofty team goals through October.

“I thought Joc, in particular, had some very good at-bats,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He just missed a couple of balls that could have gone out of the ballpark. He used the big part of the field. The homer he hit was really impressive. I think that’s a sign of good things to come.”

All three left-handed-hitting sluggers hit the ball hard Wednesday. The exit velocity on Bellinger’s home run was clocked at 102.6 mph, and Muncy’s homer was 106.3. Pederson’s homer registered at 108.6. According to Statcast, a “hard-hit ball' is a batted ball with an exit velocity of 95 mph or higher, and a player's "hard-hit rate" is the percentage of batted balls that were hit at 95 mph or more.

Bellinger entered Wednesday with a 33.3% hard-hit rate this season after sporting 46% last year. Muncy’s mark was 43.4% last year and is down to 39.3% this season. Pederson has also seen his hard-hit rate drop from 43.5% last year to 33.3% in 2020.

The good news for the Dodgers is that Pederson and Bellinger notched multiple “hard-hit” balls Wednesday.

It just wasn’t enough.

Dodgers starter Julio Urías could not find his groove and was replaced after allowing one run on four hits in 1 2/3 innings. He threw 52 pitches in the shortest outing by a Dodgers starter this season. All five outs he recorded were by strikeout.

“Julio just has to be a little more sharp from the outset,” Roberts said. “The stuff was good, but you could clearly see the slider wasn’t sharp, the change was in the zone and the fastball was not commanded.”

After the game, Urías talked about being more consistent early in the game and hitting his spots. He was asked if he thought his spot in the rotation was secure and answered it by saying that’s not his decision.

“I just have to keep working,” Urías said in Spanish. “I just have to give 100%. Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you lose. When they tell me I have to pitch out of the bullpen or start, my job is to give 100% and just let the ball out of my hand. What happens after that is not my decision.”

Mariners catcher Austin Nola drove in Dylan Moore for Seattle’s first run in the bottom of the first inning. Muncy and Pederson answered with solo home runs in the top of the second to put the Dodgers ahead, 2-1. Bellinger joined the home run parade in the third inning with his own solo home run, his fifth of the season, for the Dodgers’ third run.

Nola put the Mariners ahead with a three-run home run, 4-3, in the bottom of third, and Seattle never ceded the lead after that. In the sixth inning, Muncy, hitting coach hitting coach Robert Van Scoyoc and Roberts were ejected for questioning balls and strikes.
