 CHICAGO (AP) - Sean Marshall's confidence never wavered during his long rehabilitation for an injured left shoulder. Now that he's healthy, Marshall is making teams pay. Marshall pitched eight strong innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat Seattle 3-2 on Wednesday night to snap the Mariners' season-high five-game win streak.
Mike Fontenot's two-run single with the bases-loaded in the fifth broke a 1-1 tie, sending the Mariners to just their second loss in 11 games. After winning five straight in their final at-bat, there were no heroics for the Mariners.
It was difficult day all around for the Mariners. Second baseman Jose Lopez found out in the afternoon that his 28-year-old brother had died.
