Dodgers Triumph Over Mariners in Thrilling 3-2 Game Recap September 26 2025

In a thrilling Friday night matchup, Kiké Hernández’s two-run homer powered the Los Angeles Dodgers to a narrow 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. The win marked Los Angeles’ third consecutive victory and came shortly after the team secured their 12th NL West title in 13 years. The Seattle Mariners, who had been riding high with seven straight wins, saw their impressive 11-game home winning streak come to an end.

Dodgers’ Strategic Victory in Seattle

The Dodgers’ bullpen played a crucial role in the victory, with Justin Wrobleski leading the charge. Wrobleski, the second of seven pitchers used in a bullpen game, recorded three strikeouts and allowed only three hits over two innings to secure the win. Tanner Scott, with ice in his veins, closed out the game, navigating a bases-loaded scenario to capture his 23rd save of the season.

Kiké Hernández and Dalton Rushing Shine

Kiké Hernández turned the tide in favor of Los Angeles with a powerful two-run home run against Mariners’ starter George Kirby, giving the Dodgers a crucial lead. Dalton Rushing also made significant contributions with two key hits, including an RBI single in the sixth inning, extending the Dodgers’ lead to 3-1.

Mariners’ Efforts Fall Short

Despite their efforts, the Mariners could not overcome the Dodgers’ offense. Cal Raleigh, a key player for Seattle, recorded two hits but could not help in surmounting the deficit. Following a promising RBI single by Dominic Canzone in the eighth inning, Seattle came within one run but ultimately fell short.

Key Performance Metrics

• George Kirby pitched for five innings, allowed three hits, and struck out ten Dodgers.
• Josh Naylor’s 30th stolen base this season places him among elite first basemen, alongside legends like Jeff Bagwell and Paul Goldschmidt, to achieve 20 homers and 30 steals in a single season.

Upcoming Matchup

The Dodgers will continue their series against the Mariners with Tyler Glasnow (4-3, 3.30 ERA) set to pitch against Seattle’s Logan Gilbert (6-6, 3.43 ERA) on Saturday. With both teams having star-studded rosters and high stakes, the game promises more action and thrills for baseball fans.
