  • Shohei Ohtani hit a leadoff home run and drove in three runs, but the Dodgers lost to the Mariners 7-6.
  • The Mariners hit five home runs, overcoming a deficit to secure the win.
  • The Dodgers have now lost two consecutive games.

Shohei Ohtani's strong offensive performance was not enough to lift the Los Angeles Dodgers to victory on Tuesday, as they fell to the Seattle Mariners 7-6 at home. Ohtani launched a leadoff home run in the first inning and added two more hits, driving in a total of three runs for the Dodgers.

Despite Ohtani's efforts, the Dodgers' pitching staff struggled against the Mariners' potent offense, which connected for five home runs. The Mariners took the lead in the fourth inning with a two-run homer from Rob Refsnyder and extended it in the eighth with a two-run blast from Dominic Canzone.

Ohtani's leadoff blast in the first inning marked his 10th leadoff home run of the season. He later added a crucial two-out, bases-loaded single in the fourth inning to tie the game at 4-4. His double in the ninth inning drove in another run, but it wasn't enough to complete the comeback.

The loss marks the Dodgers' second consecutive defeat. Ohtani finished the game 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBIs, bringing his season total to 23 home runs. His batting average now stands at .286 with an OPS of .924.

Shohei Ohtani's 23rd home run is a leadoff blast!
