As most of you know, I have been critical of Nick Madrigal on this site in the past.
So today I will give him major props for his game-winning single in the Cubs’ eighth-inning rally. Madrigal’s two-run single with one out in the eighth gave the Cubs the lead and Miguel Amaya followed with an RBI single and the Cubs had a come-from-behind 4-2 win over the Marlins, their second straight.
This game started out weirdly. The Marlins scratched their starter Bryan Hoeing and made it a bullpen game instead — though Hoeing wound up throwing the third and fourth innings for Miami.
