Mhm no trouble with the curve,
that's what drew Smyly is
looking for, get back to that
pitch that he's so familiar with
three to in the air softly hit,
puts the squeeze on him and he
pitches around the walk and a
single.
A souvenir for a fan that come
up, no score and for the marlins
still, Pablo Lopez will be his
22nd start of the season, A new
career high in starts in fact 29
starts back in 2019 ball and two
strikes from Pablo dials up 95
gets the strikeout 123 1st
inning for Pablo Lopez, that's a
good pitch and he got him
looking, he gets his first
strikeout of the day pitch on
the way to Diaz swing and a miss
, strike three.
Smiling back to back strikeouts
, marlins don't score.
Second inning.
Niko Horner batting On the
ground to 3rd.
Leblon Safe at 1st.
Niko runs well one of the
fastest guys on this team called
an infield hit swing and a miss
, he's down on strikes, Pablo
with a good changeup brings up
his second K and there are two
outs here in the second inning,
goes after the first pitch lost
it out to left field for Peyton.
Burdi and he makes the catch,
took only one pitch for Lopez to
retire.
Mckinstry and to bring this
second inning to a close on the
ground corner and that was
bobbling and had the runner up
bottom, that's one probably
should have turned two on and
instead Niko lost his footing or
what happened there.
But it was like he was moving in
the opposite direction there,
Niko didn't know where that ball
was until the ball was halfway
there, but the adjustment and
not able to get to the plate to
left his first time Hard-right
field, say a nice play over in
Japan.
He won what they called the
Golden Globe five times.
He was a plus defender over
there.
He's played pretty good defense
over here, line in the left
field of base hit, Rojas moves
up to second base, knock for
Aggie and the marlins have two
on two outs, 2 on That was the
other way around 3rd.
Suzuki's a really good throw
from the tag down.
David Ross.
Let's look at it doesn't get a
great, especially with two outs
on this comes up throwing a
perfect one hopper to the
catcher, he might have got him
here.
Great job by the cubs, video of
people and a good decision by
David ross.
The marlins do not score
Christopher moral grounds from
the third baseman Charles
Leblanc for out number one here
in the third inning.
Back to the top of the order,
Pablo long look in the Fortes
now the 12 pitch a swing and a
miss.
He struck him out to set down
this side.
Cleanup hitter.
Ian happy ready to step in and
then it spills out of to second
and in with a double.
Great job by running the bases.
There nothing, nothing game here
is Niko horner drive to left to
2nd.
Niko comes through after the
trip to San Francisco where he
didn't get any knocks there, he
has come back and the bat is
starting to heat up, Down to a
knee, comes up empty on the
changeup, good pitch there from
Pablo his fourth strikeout of
the afternoon and there are two
away Pablo 94 mile an hour
fastball gets the strikeout back
to back K's when he needs it.
Smiley ready pay off pitch, got
him swinging strike out number
three for drew Smyly and two
away here in the fifth We go
horner under it and has it and
drew Smyly with an easy to three
top of the 5th And the pitch a
bouncer to third backing up and
it gets by him in the left field
Christopher Morel reaches to
lead things off here in the last
half of the 5th.
Lopez sets up high kicks and
fires.
Ortega swings lines one for a
base hit in the center field
moral around second, he's racing
the third, the throw goes to
second and now the cubs have men
at the corners with no one out
here in the bottom half of the
fifth inning and the heart of
the lineup, no one out last half
of the fifth inning.
And here's Willson Contreras to
score.
Ortega to third.
Contreras the R.B.I single,
second day in a row for
Contreras to get a big hit to
help score a run runs or win a
game.
Suzuki didn't work out for the
cubs.
Suzuki bounces one to short,
Rojas to second.
Wendell the first in time double
play 6432 away coming in to
score his Ortega and the cubs
extend their lead three to
nothing now over the marlins
here in the fifth at the corners
, two down, 12 pitches, swindle
runner goes to handle takes
strike three over the outside
corner.
He slams the bat down, slams the
helmet down in frustration.
He has struck out for the second
time in the game and finally
Lopez Is out of what was a very
challenging 5th inning B.J.
Higgins against Lopez in the air
down the line, left field pretty
well got a chance and that is he
stuck it inside the foul pole.
DJ Higgins with the homer and
it's for nothing.
DJ with number five he was doing
a little down the line.
Here comes the one owner, Joey
Wendell a drive to left, slicing
toward foul territory over his
hat.
Does he have a play leaping up
against the side wall?
I think he made the catch he
did.
He ran into the sidewall and
fell down but he held onto the
baseball, he went to an area
that Ronnie and I cannot see we
get blocked out by the
grandstand wall.
He caught it on the way and
that's out number two and the
marlins are down to their last
chance and this ought to do it.
Suzuki, yeah, in the glove of
Suzuki, brilliant play with the
throw to the plate, turned this
game around and Suzuki fires the
souvenir off into the right
field bleachers.
The Cubs have won five straight
at home.
