Jean Segura homered in the top of the ninth to
cut the Chicago lead to one, before Jonathan Davis reached on a
catcher's interference call and Soler walked. With two out, De
La Cruz ripped a double down the left-field line to score both
runners and give the Marlins the lead.
Bryan Hoeing (1-1) was credited with the win in relief for
Miami, while A.J. Puk notched his seventh save with a 1-2-3
ninth. Kendall Graveman (1-3), who surrendered all three Miami
runs in the ninth, took the loss.
Chicago right-hander Lucas Giolito, who had pitched six no-hit
innings in his last outing against the New York Yankees on June
6, kept the Miami bats silent early, running his scoreless
innings streak to 10 2/3 innings without much trouble.
That changed when Soler crushed a fastball 410 feet into the
center field seats for a 1-0 Marlins lead.
Meanwhile, left-hander Braxton Garrett was even more effective
in the early innings for Miami. Garrett gave up only a
first-inning double to Robert and infield singles to Clint
Frazier and Andrew Benintendi through 5 1/3 scoreless innings
with one walk. He struck out three White Sox on 10 pitches in
the second.
Soler's second blast, in the eighth, was his 19th of the season
and moved him into a tie for second in the majors with Aaron
Judge of the New York Yankees, behind Pete Alonso of the New
York Mets (22). Cooper's 427-foot shot to center cut Chicago's
lead to 5-3.
Giolito struck out eight and scattered six hits with one walk
over his seven innings to get the win.
