Mariners Narrowly Edged Out by Cubs at T-Mobile Park

The Seattle Mariners, with a record of 6-10, faced off against the Chicago Cubs who came into the game with a 9-6 record. The final score read 3-2 in favor of the visiting team.

In an intense matchup at T-Mobile Park, the Mariners struggled to capitalize on their opportunities. Despite a commendable effort from Seattle's bullpen, which pitched three innings allowing just one hit and maintaining an ERA of 0.0, it wasn't enough to secure a win for the home side. The bullpen also boasted an impressive WHIP of just over 0.333 and managed to keep their opponents' batting average to .111 during their time on the mound.

The Mariners' hitting statistics reflected their challenges at bat; they had an overall batting average of .179 and left 16 runners on base throughout the game. Their slugging percentage stood at .286 with only one extra-base hit contributing to that figure. In clutch situations with runners in scoring position (RISP), Seattle failed to make any hits in six attempts.

Defensively, Seattle showed solid performance but was not without flaws as they committed one error during play which contributed to one unearned run for Chicago. On offense, they managed five hits and two runs batted in (RBIs), both coming with two outs showing some resilience under pressure.

Chicago's hitters made more contact resulting in eight hits and capitalized on scoring opportunities early in the game by securing runs during the first and fourth innings which ultimately decided the outcome.
