The game's most exciting play occurred when
Crow-Armstrong led off the third inning with a line drive to
right field.
Miami's Jesus Sanchez couldn't get to the ball until after it
one-hopped the wall and skipped away. Crow-Armstrong was timed
at 14.1 seconds around the bases -- the fastest time in the
majors this season.
Chicago's Ian Happ and Miguel Amaya added conventional homers,
two-run shots for each. Happ leads the Cubs with 23 long balls
this season. Amaya, who has seven homers this year, finished the
night 2-for-4, making him 5-for-9 with two home runs and seven
RBIs over the past two games.
Marlins shortstop Xavier Edwards left after two innings due to
lower back discomfort.
Neither starting pitcher earned a decision as both Miami's Max
Meyer (six innings) and Chicago's Kyle Hendricks (4 2/3 frames)
allowed three runs.
Chicago's Porter Hodge (2-1) tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings and
Jorge Lopez fired a 1-2-3 ninth for his fourth save. Brett de
Geus (0-2) took the loss.
Paredes gave Chicago a 4-3 lead with an RBI double in the
eighth. The hit drove in Seiya Suzuki, who started the rally
with a single, went to second on an errant pickoff throw and
took third on a groundout.
Amaya's homer in the ninth padded the lead.
Miami opened the scoring in the second inning as rookie Connor
Norby stroked a leadoff double, moved to third on a fielder's
choice and scored on Derek Hill's groundout.
Chicago took a 3-1 lead in the third. After Crow-Armstrong hit
his inside-the-park dinger, Amaya singled and Happ followed with
his two-run shot.
It was the first time since 2001 that Chicago had
inside-the-park and over-the-wall homers in the same inning.
Miami cut its deficit to 3-2 in the bottom of the third as Vidal
Brujan singled with one out, advanced on Sanchez's walk and
scored on Jonah Bride's single.
The Marlins tied the score at 3 in the fifth as rookie Kyle
Stowers drew a two-out, bases-loaded, full-count walk, winning a
seven-pitch battle against reliever Tyson Miller. Hill hit a
liner up the middle, but Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner jumped
high to make a sensational catch and save multiple runs.
