LOS ANGELES -- Justin Turner felt the love from start to finish in his return to Los Angeles -- it just wasn't enough to spark the Mariners' sagging offense.

Playing in his first game at Dodger Stadium on Monday night since leaving after the 2022 season, Turner received a rousing standing ovation during a pregame ceremony honoring his nine-year career with the Dodgers. He was treated to a video montage of his Dodgers career highlights and presented with three framed action photos of him by his former teammates. The Dodgers also wrote a $10,000 check for his charitable foundation, which he accepted on the field with his wife, Kourtney, and six-week-old son, Bo.

Turner made sure his return to Dodger Stadium was more than merely sentimental, ripping a hard single for one of the Mariners’ only two hits in Seattle’s 3-0 loss to the Dodgers. He finished 1-for-3 and had another hard liner caught by a sliding Mookie Betts in right field.

"It was cool. It was really special,” Turner said. “I'm grateful for the Dodgers' organization for putting it together and seeing all the guys come out of the dugout for that certainly was special. I'm glad I got the opportunity to come back and play some games in front of these fans. They were everything to me."

Turner’s showing was a glimmer of positivity on another dreadful night for the Mariners' offense. Julio Rodríguez's single in the second inning was the only other hit the Mariners mustered as they lost for the sixth time in seven games, falling further behind the Astros in the AL West as a result. Dodgers right-hander Gavin Stone set a career high with 10 strikeouts, matching his previous high of seven by the third inning.

Turner received a standing ovation before his first at-bat and grounded out to third. In his second at-bat, he drilled a fastball from Stone over the head of leaping second baseman Gavin Lux into right-center field for a single. It was just Turner’s second hit in his previous 20 plate appearances and his first hit as a visitor at Dodger Stadium since Aug. 14, 2013, when he was a member of the Mets.

He finished his night with a 97.4 mph line drive to right that Betts charged in on and caught sliding on his knees.

"Obviously there’s some nerves in the beginning with the ceremony and getting to say a few words,” Turner said. “But then once the game started, it was just playing baseball. I played quite a few games here and felt like I was at home."

Even when the Mariners hit the ball hard, they couldn’t catch a break. After Turner’s single in the fifth inning, Josh Rojas ripped a 101.6 mph line drive right at Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, who caught it and stepped on first to double off Turner and end the inning.

In the sixth, Randy Arozarena drew a two-out walk and stole second base to give the Mariners their first runner in scoring position. Cal Raleigh laced a 101.6 mph liner that appeared headed down the right-field line for an RBI double, but Freeman jumped to make a leaping catch, robbing Raleigh and keeping the game scoreless.

Frustrated and dejected, the Mariners went hitless over the final four innings.

"We had a few chances,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “The lineout to end the fifth, lineout in the sixth. You need those balls to fall in in a game like tonight. It just didn't go our way.”

The offensive struggles wasted another brilliant effort by right-hander Bryan Woo, who pitched into the seventh inning for his fourth consecutive start. Woo took a one-hit shutout into the seventh before Lux broke a scoreless tie with a solo home run to left-center. After Woo was removed following a Will Smith hit-by-pitch, Yimi García entered and promptly served up a two-run homer to Max Muncy.

Woo allowed two hits, walked two and struck out five while taking the hard-luck loss.

"Can't control anything outside of what we're doing,” Woo said. “I know [the] offense is doing their best. Baseball is hard. Hitting a baseball is hard. It's the hardest thing to do in sports."

The Mariners have now scored one run or fewer 27 times this season, tied for third most in MLB.

"The guys are frustrated,” Servais said. “We have really struggled to do anything offensively on a consistent basis, and that's what it takes. We've got to score runs, especially on the road. We have not done that."
