The Miami Marlins managed the Chicago Cubs 8-2 in 12 innings at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night. Both teams faced each other earlier this month in South Florida.
Miami(77-80) had a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning. Agustin Ramirez knocked in Kyle Stowers with a base hit into center field.
The Marlins extended their lead to 2-0 in the top of the sixth. Stowers cracked a solo home run to left field on field on the first pitch for his 20th homer of the season. It was his second straight year with at least 20 home runs.
Chicago(87-70) broke the shutout in the bottom of the sixth. Pete Crow-Armstrong scored on a fielder's choice when Joe Mack made a catching error on a throw from first. Two batters later, Ian Happ singled through the right side and Seiya Suzuki crossed the plate to make it 2-2.
The Fish recaptured the lead in the top of the 12th with six runs and made it 8-2. Griffin Conine sliced a single inside the left-field line and Esteury Ruiz reached home. Two batters later, Jakob Marsee drove in Conine on a single into right-center field.
Three batters after that, Stowers walked with the bases loaded and Marsee touched home. Javier Sanoja followed with a single into right field and Heriberto Hernandez scored. Mack came up next and singled up the middle for Otto Lopez and Stowers to score.
