Gavin Stone delivers seven shutout innings and Gavin Lux and Max Muncy each hit home runs to lead the Dodgers to a 3-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
On a day the Dodgers welcomed a host of reinforcements back to their lineup, they might have witnessed the return of Gavin Stone, as well. In a 3-0 defeat of the Seattle Mariners on Monday night, the Dodgers fielded a full-strength offense, getting Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and Tommy Edman back from injuries in what was their most complete-looking lineup since early this season. However, it was the once-slumping Stone whose re-emergence looked brightest.
Despite fielding their healthiest lineup since opening day, in manager Dave Roberts’ estimation, the team was blanked through six innings by young Seattle starter Bryan Woo, posing few threats even with Freeman , Muncy and Edman . Only in the bottom of the seventh — moments after Stone narrowly escaped his one true jam with the help of a leaping catch by Freeman at first — did the Dodgers’ bats finally come alive.
