Eric Lauer posts six scoreless innings as Andy Pages sparks Dodgers’ 4-2 win over Mariners

The Dodgers used a steady pitching performance from Eric Lauer and a timely homer by Andy Pages to defeat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. It was the kind of game where one clean stretch from the starting pitcher and a single swing in the middle innings did most of the work, and Los Angeles cashed in to claim the win.

Lauer set the tone early, pitching six scoreless innings. The shutout stretch mattered because it kept the Mariners from building momentum or forcing the Dodgers to chase runs with late-game pitching changes. Instead, Seattle had to keep working for baserunners without turning that into a run total, while the Dodgers built their lead at the plate.

The theme of Lauer’s night aligned with a broader trend reported with the game recap: the Dodgers have won all nine games in which Lauer has pitched. That run of results underscores how consistently Los Angeles has backed him when he’s been in the starting role, and it also helps explain why the matchup mattered beyond just one outing.

Offensively, Andy Pages delivered the back-breaker. The recap notes that Pages homered in a three-hit game, giving the Dodgers a defining moment that flipped leverage late enough to matter but early enough to protect with pitching. In a 4-2 final, one extra-base swing can separate a competitive night from a comeback scenario, and Pages’ homer did that for Los Angeles.

With the Dodgers ahead, the game became more about maintaining control than creating multiple big innings. A two-run lead in MLB, especially against a lineup capable of turning pitches into extra-base damage, typically requires defense and bullpen execution. The 4-2 margin suggests the Dodgers were able to keep Seattle from turning contact into rallies after Lauer’s spell ended.

The Mariners, meanwhile, had opportunities to make the score move through the course of the game, finishing with two runs. But the combination of Lauer’s scoreless time and the Dodgers’ ability to grab and hold a lead limited Seattle’s ability to close the gap.

Looking ahead, the immediate storyline is how long Lauer’s form can continue and whether the Dodgers can keep getting from the same core contributors. Another notable watch item is whether Pages can sustain the kind of high-impact power that turned a tight game into a manageable one for the pitching staff.
