Over the weekend, they found themselves in heated battles with the Seattle Mariners following their 12-1 win in the series opener. They lost the next game by the final score of 4-1 and had to fight and claw their way back after former Cub Brian Matusz put them in a 6-0 hole.
Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano flexed their muscles, launching two of three two-run homers early on, putting their team ahead by a comfortable margin. That is until Chicago stormed back with seven unanswered runs to pick up the win on a walk-off bunt by southpaw Jon Lester.
