Chicago Cubs: Bullpen, bats shine in extra-inning win over Marlins
After losing a 17-inning marathon game Friday night, the Chicago Cubs bounced back and won the third of a four-game series in Miami by a score of 10-6.
Yu Darvish made his highly-anticipated debut in a Chicago Cubs uniform Saturday night, but it didn’t go as smoothly as anyone had hoped. The right-hander was only able to make through 4 1/3 innings pitched. He gave up five earned runs on five hits, walking two and striking out four.
Darvish hit his first batter of the season, pegging Marlins leadoff man Lewis Brinson. Things didn’t get any better after that, either. The next batter, left fielder Derek Dietrich, took Darvish deep with an absolute blast to right field.
