It was a rough night for Justin Wrobleski and the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

Through six innings against the Seattle Mariners, the Dodgers' southpaw gave up a career-high four home runs and allowed five earned runs in a slugfest. A failed late-inning comeback led to a series-opening loss for the Dodgers in their first game back at Dodger Stadium in 16 days, by a 7-6 final. 

"We didn't do the greatest job of adjusting to their game plan, and they got me," Wrobleski told the media via SportsNetLA. "It's a learning experience." 

It was the Dodgers who kicked off the scoring with Shohei Ohtani leading off the Dodgers' home half of the first with his 23rd home run of the season. That longball signified his 28th career leadoff home run in a Dodgers uniform, placing him second on the Dodgers' franchise list. 

From then on, the Mariners were neck-and-neck alongside the Dodgers, utilizing the longball to the series-opening victory. 

Cal Raleigh hit the first Seattle home run in the top of the second that tied the game the first time, and Julio Rodriguez's solo shot and Rob Refsnyder's two-run blast put a pair of runs on the scoresheet to give the Mariners a 4-2 lead in the fourth. 

The Dodgers answered back in their half of the fourth with RBIs from Tommy Edman and Ohtani. Los Angeles later retook the lead in the fifth with a Max Muncy solo shot that marked his 130th hit inside Dodger Stadium. 

That number ties Eric Karros for the most home runs at Chavez Ravine. 

It was short-lived as Dominic Canzone launched two home runs across innings six and eight that gave Seattle enough cushion to prevent a Dodgers' failed comeback in the ninth. 

The Dodgers started the ninth in a hurry with Dalton Rushing leading the inning off with a single that was followed up by an RBI double from Ohtani to cut the deficit by one. 

Unfortunately, Andy Pages would strike out, and both Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts would ground out to cap the attempt at a comeback. 

"You can tell they [Mariners] were looking up and trying to pull the baseball versus Justin [Wrobleski]," Dave Roberts said on Seattle's plan of attack en route to their win via SportsNetLA. 

With the loss, the Dodgers fall to 67-40. 

Still, the Dodgers hold an 11.5 game lead in the National League West despite a bitter fall. 

Los Angeles will send out Eric Lauer on Wednesday in hopes of avoiding a series loss.
