Rivas Delivers Walk-Off in 10th as Mariners Edge Cubs 6-5

Leo Rivas lined an RBI single for a walk-off in the 10th, lifting the Mariners to a 6-5 win over the Cubs in Seattle. Chicago jumped out to a 3-0 lead on first-inning homers by Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman, but Cal Raleigh’s three-run homer sparked Seattle’s comeback and Bregman added a second homer to force extras. Emerson Hancock allowed three runs in 5.2 innings for the Mariners, while Matthew Boyd took the loss after six innings with five runs allowed (four earned). The Cubs went 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base. With the loss, Chicago sits six games behind the Brewers in the NL Central and three games ahead of the Phillies for the top Wild Card seed. Alex Bregman was named the Player of the Game for his two long balls.

Bregman's Ninth-Inning Blast, PCA's Steal Lift Cubs to Extra-Inning Win

Two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Alex Bregman hit a game-tying two-run homer off Blue Jays closer Louis Varland to force extras, and Pete Crow-Armstrong then used sharp baserunning—stealing second and third and scoring on a miscue—to give the Cubs a 3-2 walk-off win in the 10th over Toronto.

Bregman Admits Clutch Slump, and Data Itself Supports the Claim

Alex Bregman bluntly said, “I’ve been terrible” in big moments, and FanGraphs data backs him up: his high-leverage plate appearances rank among MLB’s worst with a -10.45 RE24 and around -1.11 REW, despite appearing in the top-20 for pLI. The piece points to an 0-for-5 night ending with a game-tying popout in an extra-innings Cubs–Giants loss at Wrigley to illustrate the ongoing slump.
