While most expect the Marlins and Cubs to finish at opposite ends of the spectrum by season’s end, they finished their season-opening series on Sunday in the exact same spot.
Dead even with identical 2-2 records.
Dillon Peters delivered six scoreless innings, Chad Wallach awoke from a brutal hitting slump, and the Marlins gained a split of the four-game series with a 6-0 victory over Chicago.
Peters safely navigated his way around four Cubs scoring threats, stranding eight runners without allowing any to score, to pocket the win.
