Chicago trailed 5-1 before Cody Bellinger
belted a solo homer against Paul Sewald in the ninth inning.
The Cubs, who were held to five hits, had their seven-game
winning streak against the Mariners come to an end.
Chicago claimed a lead in the first inning after Nico Hoerner
scored on Bellinger's sacrifice fly. Gilbert then settled in and
retired 12 straight batters before Miles Mastrobuoni singled
with two outs in the fifth inning.
Seattle moved ahead with two runs in the third to snap Cubs
starter Marcus Stroman's scoreless streak at 14 innings. Eugenio
Suarez singled in a run with two on and one out, Cal Raleigh
walked to load the bases and Hernandez followed with an RBI
single.
Stroman (2-1) pitched six innings, giving up two runs on five
hits. He walked two and struck out six.
The Mariners tacked on another run in the seventh against Brad
Boxberger when France singled into left center to score J.P.
Crawford. France is batting .356 (16-for-45) during his hitting
streak.
Seattle, which snapped a three-game losing skid, added two
insurance runs in the eighth when Kelenic and Hernandez began
the inning with back-to-back homers against Julian Merryweather.
Kelenic's homer to center field was measured at 482 feet. The
left fielder is batting .458 (11-for-24) with three homers
during his career-high seven-game hitting streak.
Julio Rodriguez had two hits from the leadoff spot for Seattle,
which is in the midst of playing 15 consecutive interleague
games.
The Cubs played without shortstop Dansby Swanson, who is listed
as day-to-day with cramping in his lower left side.
