Chicago's Keegan Thompson (1-1) opened the
eighth with a walk to Jon Berti (two hits), who went to third on
Jesus Sanchez's single and scored on Arraez's long fly ball to
break a 3-3 tie. Arraez, the majors' leading hitter at .438,
also delivered a run-scoring single in the third for the
Marlins, who have won four straight.
All three wins in this set came by a single run as Miami
improved to 10-0 in one-run games.
After allowing four runs in 3 2/3 innings at Atlanta on Tuesday
in his 2023 debut, Miami starter Bryan Hoeing yielded two runs
and five hits through five against the Cubs, who stranded eight
runners.
Cody Bellinger homered for a second straight game and had two
RBIs, while Dansby Swanson recorded two hits with an RBI for
Chicago, which is 3-7 since winning four straight and 10 of 13.
Chicago starter Justin Steele entered with a 1.19 ERA but
allowed season highs of three runs -- two earned -- and seven
hits in six innings.
Chicago opened the scoring in the third as Edwin Rios doubled
and eventually scored on Swanson's two-out single. However, the
Marlins answered against Steele in their half of the third.
Garrett Hampson led off with a double, went to third on Berti's
single and scored via a passed ball on Garrett Cooper's
strikeout. Arraez then gave Miami a 2-1 lead with his RBI
single.
That Marlins' edge didn't last long as Seiya Suzuki opened the
fourth with a triple via a misplayed ball by center fielder Jazz
Chisholm Jr. Suzuki then came home on Bellinger's sacrifice fly.
However, Hampson's second double off Steele brought home Nick
Fortes from second base with two out in the bottom of the
fourth, putting Miami ahead 3-2. Chicago, though, tied it in the
sixth when Bellinger greeted reliever Andrew Nardi by hitting
the facing of the right-field upper-deck.
Tanner Scott (2-1) got the win for Miami.
