Marlins Ride By Cubs

     The Miami Marlins continued their road trip and slipped by the Chicago Cubs 3-2 at Wrigley Field on Saturday. It is the first game of a doubleheader between both teams.  

     Chicago(12-8) put up two runs in the bottom of the third for a 2-0 advantage. Patrick Wisdom tripled off the right-center field wall to score Alexander Canario and Nico Hoerner. 

     Miami(5-16) got one run in the top of the fifth and they were down 2-1. Bryan De La Cruz hit a sacrifice fly to left field and Emmanuel Rivera scored. 

     The Marlins overtook the Cubs in the ninth inning with two runs and led 3-2. De La Cruz smashed a two-run homer to left-center field on a 2-0 pitch with Luis Arraez aboard. It was his third consecutive contest with a homer and the fifth home run for De La Cruz in the 2024 campaign. De La Cruz now has an eight-game hitting streak and has an extra-base hit for the seventh straight game.
