Marlins prevent Cubs from clinching a playoff spot again with a 3-2 victory
Kyle Stowers hit a two-run homer and Miami’s bullpen held Chicago to two runs as the Cubs missed a second straight chance to clinch.
- On Wednesday, the Miami Marlins defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2, denying Chicago a playoff berth for the second straight night as Kyle Stowers hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning.
- Miami pitcher Ryan Gusto and Chicago's Kevin Gausman engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel through five innings, much like Tuesday's contest between the two teams.
- Following a replay challenge in the seventh inning, Esteury Ruiz reached base safely, allowing Augustin Ramirez to score the go-ahead run on Joe Mack's groundout.
- Dansby Swanson drove in both Chicago runs to tie the game briefly, but the Cubs remained without a clinched playoff berth and have not named a starter for Thursday's home finale.
- Chicago's Pete Crow-Armstrong remains at 45 home runs and 39 steals, still short of the 40-40 club, while Miami reliever Sandy Alcantara earned his second save in a week.
