Mike Montgomery took the hill on Sunday afternoon, looking to build off his last start, and put the Chicago Cubs in a position to take their second road series in a row. But a trio of unearned runs in the first proved to be too much to overcome.
The ageless Ichiro Suzuki reached on an error to start the frame. Giancarlo Stanton lined out before Justin Bour walked. Marcell Ozuna singled to open the scoring with an RBI single. Two batters later, Martin Prado plated two more with a double, making it 3-0 Marlins.
