LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy's three-run double highlighted a five-run fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani stole his 39th base of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Seattle Mariners 8-4. Ohtani is just one stolen base and one home run away from becoming the fastest player in major league history to reach 40-40. The Japanese superstar would be the first player in Dodgers history to do so. The Dodgers outscored the Mariners 17-6 while sweeping the three-game interleague series. Jack Flaherty got the win to improve to 10-5. Seattle's Logan Gilbert took the loss and had three wild pitches that led to runs. The reeling Mariners went 1-8 on their road trip to Detroit, Pittsburgh and LA.
