Game Summary
Chicago defeated Miami 6-5. The Cubs rode a three-run third inning and steady offense — Michael Conforto homered and Nico Hoerner went 3-for-5 while Ian Happ drove in two — to build and sustain a lead against the Marlins. Michael Busch’s RBI single in the sixth pushed Chicago’s advantage to 6-4 and proved pivotal after Miami rallied with a Kyle Stowers solo homer in the seventh. Miami starter Ryan Gusto allowed five runs on ten hits over 4 2/3 innings and took the loss, while Chicago’s bullpen worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings, with Ryan Rolison earning the win and Ryan Zeferjahn recording the save.
