MIAMI -- It was an impressive offensive inning. Dynamic, in fact, as it combined execution with big hits. The only problem for Chicago Cubs fans was that it came from the Miami Marlins on Sunday, and not from one of the teams favored to go to the World Series this fall.
It all happened in the fifth, in a scoreless game, with the Marlins showing the Cubs how to get things done at the plate. A double by Cameron Maybin was followed by a get-me-over ground ball up the middle by Yadiel Rivera as Miami was just getting started.
