Mariners Eliminated from Playoff Contention

The Los Angeles Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners with an 8-4 victory, led by Max Muncy's three-run double in a five-run fifth inning and Shohei Ohtani's 39th stolen base of the season. Jack Flaherty pitched effectively for the Dodgers, while the Mariners' struggles continued, losing eight of their last nine games, eliminating them from playoff contention. Seattle's playoff hopes are now officially over as they fall further behind in the AL Wild Card race. The Dodgers' lineup showed depth with contributions from multiple players, despite ongoing injuries in their rotation. Meanwhile, the Braves defeated the Angels 3-1, with Ramón Laureano hitting his 14th homer against the Angels, further deepening the Angels' struggles in the AL West.
