LOS ANGELES—Pinch-hitter Jason Heyward broke an eighth-inning tie with a three-run home run as the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied for a 6–3 victory over the reeling Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, August 20.

Heyward lined a high 99 mph fastball from All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz (2–5) over the short wall in the right-field corner to give the Dodgers their first lead. It was his second pinch-hit homer this season and the third of his career.
