OSS: Crushinated.
Three+ up:
- The Cubs offense went to work on Mariners starter Marco Gonzales, who came into this game with a solid 2.80 ERA in seven starts. They batted around and scored six runs in the second inning, chasing Gonzalez and continuing to beat up on his replacement. Baez alone had six total bases in the inning, thanks to a homer and an RBI double. They also drew three walks in the inning, two of them with the bases loaded.
- The Cubs offensive explosion overshadowed what was a great start by Jon Lester.
