Seattle Mariners Offense Disappears in Shut Out Loss Against Los Angeles Dodgers
At this point it feels like the same rerun of a bad show.
The Seattle Mariners lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 on Monday in the first of a three-game series — the final one in what’s turned to be a disastrous nine-game road trip for the Mariners.
Seattle fell to 64-62 with the loss and dropped to five games behind the Houston Astros in the American League West standings. The Mariners have gone 20-31 and have given up 15 games of ground in the division since their 10-game lead on June 19.
In Seattle’s most recent losses — it’s failed to bring runners in scoring position home despite numerous opportunities to do so. The Mariners couldn’t even make it that far on Monday.
Dodgers starter Gavin Stone had a career night on the bump. He pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out 10 batters. He allowed two hits and walked another two.

Seattle starter Bryan Woo put up a solid effort of his own to match Stone’s. He shut out the Dodgers through six innings and struck out five batters while letting up just one hit.

“Outstanding pitching tonight — both sides, obviously,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said in a postgame interview Monday. “Our guy Bryan Woo I thought was fantastic. Can’t throw the ball much better. … I thought Bryan really couldn’t have done a better job than what he did.”
It was the seventh inning where things started to spiral.
Gavin Lux hit a solo-shot home run off Woo in the bottom of the seventh for the first run of the game and to put Los Angeles up 1-0.
Woo hit Will Smith with a pitch and was subsequently pulled soon after. Yimi Garcia entered the game for Woo. It was Woo’s fourth consecutive quality start of more than six innings pitched.
In his first batter faced — Garcia let up a two-run homer to right field to Max Muncy to give the Dodgers the eventual final of 3-0.

The Mariners had just four runners reach base on Monday. Only one of those runners (Randy Arozarena) got to scoring position.
There’s 36 games left in the season. That’s how many games the Mariners have to turn their season around. They’re 6.5 games out of the third AL Wild Card spot.
At this point Seattle’s best hope lies in winning the division. And the numbers aren’t in the Mariners’ favor. Neither is time. And Seattle is running out of it.

Seattle Seahawks Injury Updates: Status of trio of DBs
There were Seattle Seahawks injury updates on Friday regarding three defensive backs coming out of the Hawks’ overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.
Seahawks’ Derick Hall suspended one game for stepping on player
Here’s a look at the updates, as well as insight from head coach Mike Macdonald and additional information from ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler.
• The biggest concern for the Seahawks coming out of the game is safety Coby Bryant, who has a knee injury. Macdonald said in a press conference Friday that Bryant would “get imaged,” meaning undergo an MRI. Fowler reported on social media that, per sources, Bryant is “expected to miss ‘some time’ based on initial tests.”
• Cornerback Riq Woolen has a knee concern of his own, but Fowler reported that it’s “not considered serious” and that, per a source, Woolen “more so got ‘banged up.’”
• Versatile defensive back Nick Emmanwori was evaluated for a concussion late in Thursday’s game, but Macdonald said he cleared concussion protocol.
The Seahawks improved to 12-3 with their win over the Rams, giving them a one-game lead over Los Angeles for both first place in the NFC West and the No. 1 seed to the postseason out of the NFC. The Seahawks also clinched a playoff spot with the dramatic comeback victory.
The next Seahawks game will be at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 28 on the road against the Carolina Panthers (7-7). Radio coverage on Seattle Sports will begin at 7 a.m. that day with the pregame show.
