Entering Monday’s action, the Mariners were one of the worst-hitting teams in the Major Leagues. But for one game at Dodger Stadium, at least, they found themselves in a slugfest. They collected 13 hits, but ended up losing to the Dodgers, 11-9. Seattle increased its losing streak to six games.

“Wow, what a game. What a crazy baseball game,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “I can’t say enough about the effort from our guys. … There were some awesome things offensively. The young guys continue to grow.”

Scoring the nine runs wasn’t a small feat for the Mariners, considering that the Dodgers have arguably the best pitching staff in all of baseball. In fact, they were leading the Majors with a 2.49 ERA heading into play on Monday.

But Seattle went to work on Dodgers right-hander Ross Stripling, scoring a combined seven runs by the third inning, including five in that frame.

It was the long ball that hurt Stripling that inning, which the Mariners entered trailing by four runs. Kyle Lewis hit a two-run shot over the center-field wall to make it a two-run game. Before anyone knew it, it was a one-run game as Kyle Seager -- playing against brother Corey for the first time in the regular season -- hit a solo shot over the center-field wall. Two batters later, Evan White gave Seattle a one-run lead with a two-run homer, one of two he hit on the night.

The Mariners were able to add to their lead an inning later with right-hander Dylan Floro on the mound, when Dylan Moore scored their eighth run of the game on a single by Seager, his third hit of the game.

“We had the momentum rolling tonight. The middle of our lineup -- when the two Kyles keep going -- everybody kind of feeds off that,” Servais said. “A lot of good at-bats -- up and down the lineup. Guys continue to make adjustments. The potential is there with this group. Tonight is going to go a long way to help us be more consistent.”

But Seattle couldn’t hold onto the lead. The bullpen has been an Achilles heel for the Mariners all season, and it showed in the seventh inning. Right-hander Matt Magill hadn’t allowed a run all season prior to Monday, but that changed in the seventh inning, as the Dodgers scored five runs, two of which came in before Magill even retired a batter. Before he left the game, Magill allowed a two-run homer to Enrique Hernández to put the game out of reach.

“[The Dodgers] really grinded some at-bats. They laid off some close pitches. You have to give those guys credit,” Servais said. “Matt has been throwing the ball great. I told Matt [after the game], you have to keep firing in there. I thought he competed really well. The club had his number tonight.”
