Happ and Ramírez Hit Grand Slams to Propel the Cubs to a 19-2 Blowout of the Mariners
Ian Happ’s grand slam capped a five-run third inning as Chicago scored in six of nine innings and handed Seattle its most lopsided home loss.
- On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Seattle Mariners 19-2 at T-Mobile Park, avoiding a three-game sweep behind grand slams from Ian Happ and Pedro Ramirez.
- Mariners starter Bryce Miller struggled with command, issuing a career-high seven walks while allowing six runs over 4 1/3 innings. The Cubs' offense capitalized on his poor control.
- Chicago tallied 17 hits in the blowout win, marking the third time since at least 1910 the franchise hit two grand slams in one game. Pete Crow-Armstrong added his 33rd home run of the season.
- The victory helped the Cubs maintain a 4 1/2-game lead for the National League wild card, while the Mariners fell three games back in the American League wild-card race.
- Chicago travels to Arizona to face the Diamondbacks on Monday with RHP Kevin Gausman starting, while Seattle opens a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies featuring RHP Logan Gilbert.
