Mariners struggle again, fall to Cubs 19-2 at home
Summary

The Seattle Mariners lost 19-2 to the Chicago Cubs at T-Mobile Park on August 23. Mariners pitcher Bryce Miller faced difficulties, failing to last longer than four innings as he allowed six runs, and the bullpen struggled to contain the Cubs’ offense afterward. Early in the game, Randy Arozarena provided excitement with a home run, but the momentum quickly faded. After a brief lead, Miller lost his control and walked several batters, which led to the Cubs capitalizing with big plays. Following this defeat, the Mariners continue to face challenges, particularly in their pitching staff, as the season nears its end.
