The Cubs obliterated the Mariners 19-2 with two grand slams in one game — their first since 1998 — as Ian Happ and Pedro Ramírez launched homers, and Pete Crow-Armstrong added a blast and a steal. The win snapped a three-game skid and reignited their wild card hopes, especially with the Phillies closing in. But starter Shota Imanaga struggled early, lasting just over two innings and giving up five hits and two runs before being pulled. Veteran Aaron Civale stepped in and shut them down for four innings, saving the day. Imanaga admitted he needs to step up, as every start matters in the playoff race.
