In a matchup with a Cubs club invigorated by a late-winter investment in their present and future by bringing back OF Cody Bellinger early in spring training, the Seattle Mariners saw their presumed lineup starters showcase some promising pop, but fell 9-5 to Chicago all the same. That offensive showcase was the purview of Luis Urías and Cal Raleigh, who each clubbed homers on a day where all but one of the M’s starting nine at least reached base, and seven knocked at least one hit. Urías, Dylan Moore, Ryan Bliss, and Jonatan Clase all made it on twice, including a hustle double from Clase that capped an excellent second inning for the M’s off new Cubs import LHP Shota Imanaga.
Mariners swear it was several full-sized bears, dude, I promise, fall to Cubs 9-5
