The Mariners, who lost in 12 innings at
Cleveland on Sunday, failed to score with the bases loaded
against the Cubs' Keegan Thompson (1-0) in the 10th.
In the Chicago half of the 10th, placement runner Nick Madrigal
stole third base and Hoerner drove a pitch from Matt Brash (0-1)
into right field for his first career walk-off.
Eric Hosmer added two hits with an RBI and Cody Bellinger had a
run-scoring double for the Cubs, who are 4-1 since losing three
straight.
Chicago's Drew Smyly, who allowed six earned runs over 4 2/3
innings in his 2023 debut against Cincinnati on April 3, was
much more efficient on Monday. He yielded just a fourth-inning
run, two hits and one walk while striking out seven in five
innings.
Meanwhile, Seattle ace Luis Castillo allowed his first two runs
of the season in his third start, plus six hits -- after
yielding three hits in his first two -- and two walks to go
along with five strikeouts over six innings. Seattle, though,
managed just six hits and went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring
position.
Smyly retired the first 10 batters he faced until Ty France's
bloop double in the fourth. After a Eugenio Suarez walk and
Teoscar Hernandez single, France scored on AJ Pollock's
sacrifice fly for a 1-0 Seattle lead.
However, the Cubs became the first team to get to Castillo this
season in the bottom of the fourth. Ian Happ opened the frame
with a walk, then stole second and went to third on catcher Tom
Murphy's throwing error. Bellinger's double just inside the
first-base line tied the game, ending Castillo's scoreless run
at 14 2/3 innings. Hosmer's single then put Chicago ahead 2-1.
