The Miami Marlins wasted no time making their presence felt in this matchup, scoring early and often against the Chicago Cubs pitching staff.
In the second inning , Kyle Stowers opened the scoring with a solo homer to center field off Jameson Taillon, giving Miami a 1-0 lead. The Cubs’ defense held strong after that, but it was clear the Marlins were ready to play.
By the fourth inning , Miami added two more runs, thanks to back-to-back homers from Agustin Ramirez and Kyle Stowers , extending their lead to 3-0. Ramirez took Taillon deep to center, while Stowers crushed his second dinger of the game — this one to right field.
Despite solid contact at times, the Cubs couldn’t turn momentum in their favor early on.
Cubs Finally Respond: Seiya Suzuki Gets Them on the Board
After going down quietly in the first three innings, the Cubs finally broke through in the fourth when Seiya Suzuki launched a solo home run to center field**, cutting the deficit to 3-1.
It was a much-needed spark for the Wrigley Field faithful, who had been watching the Marlins dominate both offensively and defensively up to that point.
Following Suzuki’s blast, the Cubs went quiet again:
- Carson Kelly grounded out to first.
- Pete Crow-Armstrong struck out swinging.
- Nico Hoerner flew out to deep center field.
Still, the hope remains that the offense can build on that one run and begin chipping away at the Marlins’ lead.
What’s Next for the Cubs?
With the lineup struggling to string together hits and Jameson Taillon having an off day on the mound, the pressure is now on the bullpen and the bats to make something happen.
The Cubs have struggled all season when trailing late — they’re just 2-15 when behind after eight innings — so if they want to stay competitive in this one, they’ll need to start mounting a rally soon.
Can Dansby Swanson continue his hot streak and ignite the offense? Will the middle relievers hold the line and give the team a chance?
Stay tuned to see how this one unfolds.
