Miami Marlins stymie Chicago’s push for NL wild card with 8-2 victory over the Cubs
The Miami Marlins secured an 8-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night, preventing the Cubs from clinching a spot in the NL wild card. Griffin Conine was pivotal in the Marlins' triumph, driving in Esteury Ruiz with a crucial single in the 12th inning. Miami's six-run 12th inning sealed the game, with additional runs scored by Jakob Marsee and Joe Mack.
Kyle Stowers contributed a solo home run for the Marlins, who had lost three consecutive games. Chicago had a chance to win in the 10th inning, but Miami's Javier Sanoja made a remarkable sliding stop to rob Pedro Ramírez of a potential game-ending single. The Cubs, now without third baseman Alex Bregman due to facial fractures, will return to the lineup before the season's end.
