  "account": "Seattle Mariners secured a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night, thanks to a walk-off home run by Randy Arozarena. The Cubs' closer, Jacob Webb, struggled in the ninth inning, allowing two runs to Allen to secure the win for Seattle. Arozarena hit a two-run shot straightaway center to finish off the game. Prior to his walk-off, the Mariners had pulled within one run on a two-out, RBI single by Leo Rivas in the ninth inning. Rookie pitcher Kade Anderson, the third overall pick in 2025, made his Major League debut and gave up three earned runs over 5 ⅔ innings, but was still able to earn his first win. The Mariners will now play a crucial series finale against the Cubs, with Bryce Miller set to start on Sunday.",
