Miami(19-27) powered out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. Jesus Sanchez smashed a solo home run to right-center field on a 3-0 count for his second homer of the year. Agustine Ramirez followed with a solo homer to left-center field on a 3-1 pitch for his sixth home run of his rookie season.
The first two Marlins in their lineup hit back-to-back home runs to begin a game for the third time in team history. It happened previously in 2010 and 2024.
Chicago(28-20) bounced back with three runs in the top of the fourth for a 3-2 lead. Miguel Amaya lifted a three-run homer just beyond the left-field wall with Michael Busch and Nico Hoerner on board. It turned out to be Amaya's fourth home run of the season.
The Fish responded in the bottom of the fourth with four runs to go ahead 6-3. Liam Hicks collected his first career triple in the majors. The hit to the right-center field fence scored Connor Norby to tie it up 3-3. Two batters later, Javier Sanoja singled up the middle to score Hicks. Sanchez came up next with a base hit through the middle and Sanoja raced home. Two batters later, Lopez knocked in Sanchez on a single through the left side for a 6-3 advantage.
The Cubbies overtook Miami 7-6 in the sixth inning with four runs. Moises Ballesteros got an infield hit down the first-base line with the bases loaded to score Busch. Amaya then tripled into the left-center field alley which brought in Dansby Swanson and Hoerner. Ballesteros ended up being tagged out at home plate. Cubs rookie Matt Shaw followed with ground-rule double to right-center field and Amaya crossed the plate.
The Marlins picked up two runs in the bottom of the ninth for the walk-off 8-7 victory. Sanchez doubled down the right-field line for Derek Hill and Sanoja to score.
Sanchez became the second player in Marlins franchise history with a leadoff homer to begin the game and a walk-off RBI. Hanley Ramirez accomplished it on August 7, 2010 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
