The Seattle Mariners overpowered the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-6 at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, despite Max Muncy tying the franchise’s all-time home run record at Chavez Ravine. Five Mariners homers—including four off starter Justin Wrobleski—proved decisive in a game where both teams capitalized on hitter-friendly conditions.

Muncy matches Karros’ historic mark

Muncy’s solo shot in the fifth inning equaled Eric Karros’ record of 130 career home runs at Dodger Stadium, a milestone reached in far fewer games and at-bats than his predecessor. While Karros required 798 games and 2,879 at-bats to set the mark, Muncy achieved it in just 516 games and 1,648 at-bats. With 21 homers this season—second only to Shohei Ohtani on the team—Muncy now has ample opportunity to surpass Karros before his contract expires.

The record-tying blast came after a 59-at-bat drought at home, where Muncy had failed to connect during the Dodgers’ previous three homestands. A post-All-Star break surge, including three homers on the road, finally delivered the moment in the fifth inning off Mariners pitcher Luis Castillo.

Mariners’ power surge overwhelms Dodgers

Seattle’s offensive outburst began early, with three home runs in the first three innings off Wrobleski, who allowed a career-high four long balls in six innings. Dominic Canzone delivered the decisive blow in the eighth, crushing a two-run shot off reliever Alex Vesia to break a 5-5 tie. The five homers surrendered by Los Angeles matched their season-high allowed in a single game.

The Dodgers’ own power display—headlined by Ohtani’s leadoff homer in the first—was undermined by missed opportunities. A bases-loaded, no-out situation in the third yielded just one run via a Freddie Freeman double play, while a two-run fourth inning left the bases loaded after Kyle Tucker held at third on Ohtani’s RBI single. The ninth-inning rally, sparked by Dalton Rushing’s infield single and Ohtani’s double, ended with Mookie Betts grounding out to strand the tying and winning runs.

What’s next for the Dodgers

Los Angeles will look to rebound on Wednesday when left-hander Eric Lauer (5-5, 4.83 ERA) faces Seattle’s Emerson Hancock (6-4, 3.16 ERA). The Dodgers remain in second place in the NL West, trailing the first-place Padres by a half-game as they enter the final stretch of the season.
