Summary
22-year-old Kade Anderson reached the sixth inning in his MLB debut, allowing three runs on five hits with two walks and five strikeouts before Seattle beat the Cubs 5-4.
80 pitches into a rapid call-up from Double-A, the left-hander carried a 2-1 lead into the sixth before Alex Bregman and Michael Busch hit back-to-back homers to end his outing.
Randy Arozarena erased that deficit in the ninth, capping a three-run, two-out rally with a two-run walkoff homer for his second home run of the game.
45,681 fans gave Anderson a standing ovation despite the rough finish, capping a 48-hour whirlwind that began with Thursday's promotion from Arkansas.
