First Inning


The Cubs set the tone early in the first inning with an aggressive approach. They managed to score their initial run thanks to a combination of sharp hitting and tactical base running. Pete Crow-Armstrong, known for his consistent performance, contributed significantly by maintaining pressure on the Marlins' defense. The Fish struggled to contain this early momentum but managed to prevent further damage as they closed out the inning.


Third Inning


By the third inning, both teams were locked in a tight contest. The Marlins responded with determination as they scored their lone run through strategic hits that pierced through Chicago's defense momentarily. However, Jameson Taillon's pitching remained resilient throughout this period, limiting Miami's opportunities and keeping them from gaining any substantial foothold in the game.

Sixth Inning


The sixth inning was where everything changed dramatically for both teams. The Cubs unleashed an offensive barrage that saw them rack up eight runs on eight hits during this single frame alone. This explosive display was spearheaded by Seiya Suzuki and Kyle Tucker, whose combined efforts overwhelmed Miami’s pitchers and left little room for recovery. Their ability to capitalize on every opportunity presented was evident as they dismantled any semblance of control held by Miami’s bullpen.


Ninth Inning


In what could be described as adding insult to injury for Miami fans present at loanDepot Park, Chicago continued its relentless pursuit into the ninth inning by scoring five more runs off six hits before closing out their dominant performance without conceding further ground defensively or offensively against Miami’s attempts at retaliation.
