The Dodgers win a heartbreaker

Coming off a disappointing lose the Seattle Mariners look to bounce back against the Los Angeles Dodgers. To get the win they are sending one of their best pitchers, Hisashi Iwakuma, to the mound. Iwakuma will have to out-duel David Huff to get the win.
In the 1st inning the Seattle Mariners once again show their new power by quickly getting three runs on a 2-run homer by Robinson Cano and a solo homer by Nelson Cruz. In the bottom half of the inning Hisashi Iwakuma gets into trouble as he loads the bases. A strikeout of A. Ether gets him out of the inning without giving up a run. 3-0 Mariners.
The 2nd goes quick as Willie Bloomquist is the only one to reach base for either team.
Despite the Dodgers intentionally walking Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager getting a hit the Mariners don't get anyone home in the 3rd inning. In the bottom of the 3rd the Dodger finally get on the board with a run off of two doubles. 3-1 Mariners
In the 4th inning the Mariners get back the run they gave up when Willie Bloomquist is hit-by-a-pitch, Hisashi Iwakuma has a sacrifice bunt and Rickie Weeks hits an RBI single. In the bottom of the inning the Dodgers once again close the gap with a 2-run homer. 4-3 Mariners.
The Mariner add another run in the top of the 5th when new Dodger pitcher Juan Nicasio walks the bases loaded and Willie Bloomquist grounds out to bring Nelson Cruz home. In the bottom of the
5th Hisashi Iwakuma gives up a walk but that is all the Dodgers get. 5-3 Mariners.
Robinson Cano doubles in the top of the 6th inning before Nelson Cruz strikes out to end the inning. In the bottom of the 6th Hisashi Iwakuma gives up a homer before being replaced by Carson Smith. Smith commits an error but gets out without and more damage in the inning. 5-4 Mariners.
The Mariners get to singles in the7th inning but no runs. In the bottom of the 7th inning Charlie Furbush gives up two singles but a double play gets him out of the inning.
The Mariners go in order in the top of the 8th inning. The Dodgers return the favor by going in order.

In the top of the 9th the Mariners again go in order. Fernando Rodney comes in to pitch the bottom of the 9th to try to preserve a one run lead. Justin Turner starts off with a single. Jimmy Rollins single as Turner goes to third. Carl Crawford hits a ground ball to Kyle Seager and they get turner out in a run down for the first out. Adrian Gonzalez walks to load the bases. Howie Kendrick singles to drive in 2 runs to win the game. 6-5 Dodgers.
