MLB News: Marlins power past Cubs, stop 5-game skid

Added to Favorite


Connor Norby and Jesus Sanchez each homered Sunday as the host Miami Marlins snapped a five-game losing streak with a 7-2 win over the Chicago Cubs.

Norby went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, and Sanchez had a game-high two RBIs.

Miami right-hander Adam Oller (1-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts to earn his first win as a Marlin.

Three Miami relievers combined to hold Chicago to just one run on two hits over 3 1/3 innings.

Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom was ejected in the fourth inning after striking out looking on a pitch that appeared to catch a corner. Wisdom, who went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts, had four called strikes during those at-bats.

After the last called strike, Wisdom slammed his helmet, drawing the ejection.

Chicago had its three-game win streak snapped as Javier Assad (6-4) took the loss.

The right-hander allowed three runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts over seven innings.

Miami scored on Assad’s first pitch of the game when Norby drove a low fastball 352 feet for an opposite-field home run to right. It was Norby’s second homer in as many games.

Two batters later, Sanchez smoked a low curve from Assad 420 feet to center for his 16th home run this season.

Chicago got on the board in the second when Dansby Swanson doubled, stole third and scored on ex-Marlins catcher Christian Bethancourt’s single to right.

Miami stretched its lead to 3-1 in the third as Norby doubled, took third on a Jake Burger flyout and scored on Sanchez’s groundout.

Norby started another rally in the eighth. He singled, took third on Burger’s double and scored on Jonah Bride’s sacrifice fly.

Miami tacked on in the same inning as Otto Lopez and Kyle Stowers drilled RBI doubles and Derek Hill added a run-scoring single for a 7-1 lead.

Chicago’s Ian Happ stroked an RBI double in the ninth to close the scoring.
