In a dramatic conclusion to their game, the Chicago Cubs secured a victory against the Seattle Mariners with a final score of 3-2. The game's pivotal moment came when Cubs' Adbert Alzolay picked off Julio Rodriguez, who was pinch-running as the tying run with two outs in the ninth inning. Rodriguez was initially called safe, but after a lengthy review, the call was overturned, ending the game in favor of the Cubs. This incident, which was a win on a challenge, marked a significant moment for both Rodriguez and the Mariners' ace, Luis Castillo, who fell to a 0-4 record.
