Schwarber hit a two-run homer with two out in the eighth, and the Chicago Cubs topped the Seattle Mariners 6-5 for their third consecutive victory. Schwarber then drove Brennan’s changeup into the second deck in right field for his first homer since April 8. When he stays behind the ball, let the ball come to him rather than travel out there, that’s it,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. The shot silenced the thousands of Cubs fans that showed up for Chicago’s first game in Seattle in six years. Anthony Rizzo added his sixth homer of the season in the fifth, a two-run shot that gave the Cubs a 4-3 lead.
