Unfortunately, the Marlins were once again tasked with scoring more than one run in a baseball game. The Chicago Cubs scored an insurmountable two runs against the Fish and kept them to just one run, the night after the Marlins put up 10 runs.
The lone Marlin to cross home plate was JJ Bleday in the second inning when Jordan Groshans hit a line drive that bounced off the glove of diving third baseman David Bote. Bleday was able to score from third base.
Pablo López had perhaps his best start since the trade deadline passed in early August.
