Leonys Martin smacked a two-run double off a 100-mph fastball from Chapman in the eighth, then stole third and scored on a wild pitch by the lefty to lift the Mariners to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs on Saturday afternoon in front of 41,401 at Wrigley Field.
Wade Miley held Chicago hitless through six innings, but the Cubs took a 1-0 lead in the seventh thanks to an overturned call at home. Dexter Fowler was called out, but replay revealed that he avoided the tag at home. However, the Cubs lost a run that inning when Kris Bryant tried to steal home. He was originally called safe, but after a review, that call was also overturned and Bryant was out.
After holding Seattle scoreless through seven, Chicago starter Jake Arrieta walked two batters in the eighth and was pulled. Chapman, acquired Monday from the Yankees, was vying for his second four-hit save in as many outings for the Cubs. This was his second blown save in 23 opportunities this season.
