Mariners Get Past Cubs, Aroldis Chapman In 4-1 Victory At Wrigley
CHICAGO (AP) -- Leonys Martin hit a go-ahead, two-run double off new Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman in the eighth inning, lifting the Seattle Mariners over Chicago, 4-1, on Saturday.
Wade Miley (7-8) took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before allowing Kris Bryant's single and Javier Baez's RBI groundout.
Jake Arrieta (12-5) walked Mike Zunino and Shawn O'Malley starting the eighth, pinch-hitter Luis Sardinas sacrificed against Hector Rondon, and Nori Aoki grounded to third, where Bryant threw out pinch-runner Guillermo Heredia at the plate, a call upheld in a video review.
Making his third appearance for the Cubs since he was acquired from the New York Yankees, Chapman allowed Martin's double to left-center on a 99.6 mph pitch, which put Seattle ahead 2-1.
Martin stole third and scored on a wild pitch, and Seattle added a run in the ninth when shortstop Addison Russell threw high to first on Chris Iannetta's two-out grounder, allowing Franklin Gutierrez to score from third.
Edwin Diaz struck out pinch-hitter Anthony Rizzo and Dexter Fowler with two on to end the eighth. Steve Cishek worked around a hit in the ninth for his 25th save in 30 tries. Chicago had won its previous three games.
Arrieta (12-5) allowed two runs, two hits and three walks in seven-plus innings with four strikeouts. He fell to 0-3 with a 4.88 ERA in five starts during July.
Miley allowed one hit over seven innings with a season-high nine strikeouts. He had lost his previous six starts since beating Cleveland on June 7.
Fowler initially was called out by plate umpire Lance Barrett on Baez's grounder, but the call was overturned in a video review.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Mariners: RHP Nathan Karns (lower back strain) went on the 15-day disabled list, a day after he allowed five runs during a two-inning relief appearance. RHP Cody Martin was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma. . RHP Taijuan Walker (foot) is scheduled to throw five innings Monday in a rehab start for Tacoma.
UP NEXT
Mariners ace Felix Hernandez (5-4) is to start the series finale Sunday night and Kyle Hendricks (9-7) is to start for the Cubs. Maddon said it was possible Hendricks would have his start pushed back to give everyone in the rotation extra rest.
