Leo Rivas has RBI single in 10th, Mariners beat Cubs 6-5
Leo Rivas capped a late Mariners rally with a two-out RBI single after Alex Bregman tied it in the ninth.
On Friday, Leo Rivas delivered a two-out, walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning, lifting the Seattle Mariners to a 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs before a sellout crowd of 46,018 at T-Mobile Park.
Chicago took an early 3-0 lead in the first inning behind home runs from Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman, though Seattle answered in the second with four runs including a three-run blast from Cal Raleigh.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell was ejected in the fifth inning for arguing a balk call, as Mariners starter Emerson Hancock allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings with six strikeouts.
Reliever Seranthony Dominguez earned the win after pitching a scoreless 10th inning, while Chicago's Ryan Zeferjahn took the loss; despite the defeat, Chicago maintains a five-game lead in the National League wild card.
Prospect Kade Anderson makes his major league debut Saturday at T-Mobile Park, while the team remains uncertain regarding pitcher Bryan Woo's next start due to ongoing shoulder discomfort.
