Nico Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a pair of
doubles, an RBI and a run for Chicago, which also got two hits
apiece from Cody Bellinger, Dansby Swanson and Mike Tauchman.
Bryan De La Cruz went deep and Jazz Chisholm went 2-for-4 for
Miami, which has now dropped 16 of 20 games to open the season.
The Marlins finished with six hits, three of which came in the
ninth.
Chicago broke the game open with a four-run third.
Shortly after the Cubs loaded the bases with no outs, Garrett
Cooper singled home Bellinger before another run scored on Nick
Madrigal's fielder's choice-grounder. Miguel Amaya proceeded to
cap the rally with a two-run double to make it 7-0.
Because of that outburst, Marlins starter A.J. Puk (0-4) didn't
return to the mound for the fourth, giving up a career-worst
seven runs on seven hits in three innings. He walked three and
fanned four.
Miami got a run back in the fourth on De La Cruz's solo shot.
However, Tauchman restored Chicago's seven-run cushion an inning
later, ripping an RBI single to right.
Puk was roughed up right from the jump, surrendering Bellinger's
run-scoring single and Swanson's RBI double in the first.
Hoerner then doubled to drive in Madrigal to push the Cubs' lead
to 3-0 in the second.
The Marlins' bullpen was able to stop the bleeding following
Puk's departure, as Declan Cronin, Burch Smith and Andrew Nardi
combined for five innings of one-run relief.
Nick Gordon drove in a pair of runs with a single in the ninth
for Miami.
