Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners three-game series

Overview

The Seattle Mariners and Chicago Cubs concluded a three-game series at T-Mobile Park with contrasting outcomes. The Mariners won the first two contests via dramatic walk-offs, including a tenth-inning RBI single by Leo Rivas in the first game and a ninth-inning, two-run home run by Randy Arozarena in the second. Arozarena made history by hitting leadoff home runs in consecutive games, becoming the second player to hit consecutive leadoff homers with a walk-off in between, matching a feat by Pete Crow-Armstrong.

The Cubs avoided a series sweep in the final game with a 19-2 victory. The blowout was fueled by home runs from Pete Crow-Armstrong and grand slams from both Ian Happ and Pedro Ramírez. While Cubs starter Shota Imanaga allowed two runs in a short outing, the bullpen provided seven scoreless innings of relief. The Cubs offense surged late, scoring 12 of their 19 runs in the final two innings.

This loss is part of a difficult stretch for the Mariners, which includes a 22-0 shutout loss against the Milwaukee Brewers. During the Cubs game, center fielder Julio Rodríguez reportedly caused a pitch clock violation by tossing a baseball into the crowd, which contributed to the Cubs' scoring. Additionally, pitcher Bryce Miller has struggled throughout August, allowing 21 runs over four starts.
