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.
