Mitch Haniger led the Mariners to a wild comeback attempt, going 3 for 5 with 2 RBI, that came up just short in Oakland, 7-6.
Clayton Kershaw threw 8 innings, allowing 1 run, struck out 9 Giants and hit an RBI double. He did not get the decision as the Dodger bullpen melted down in the 9th to lose, 5-2.
