Ozo gets the ball for the Marlins to be his seventh major league start and he faces the Cubs for the first time in his career. Here's a check swing on a changeup. Did he go? Yes, he did. According to manny Gonzalez at third one up and one down in the first strikeout of the ball game , two down. Nobody on. And here is Suzuki that is left center field on its way and that one is gone. The Suzuki and the Cubs jump in front with 17 high fastball to say about 89 miles an hour. And he, this ball that is the part of the ballpark where the ball really doesn't carry all that well here and it's shot Imana his 24th start of the season. A loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday in Chicago, but that was a one game on nobody out and that one hit in the air right field fouled ground. Suzuki there to make the catch tapped out in front of the plate. Amaya Pounces on it and throws out Berger. Here's a high pop up right side. The second baseman Horner in very shallow right will make the call and the catch and it's a 123 1st inning for Shotta Imana Swanson walk curl Armstrong hit by the pitch and now a walk to the number nine batter. So Ian Happ comes up and you know, you figure with Scan Imana pitching, this could be one of those turning point at bats of the 2 to 1 pitch. He swings and he lines it towards the gap in right center field on the run. Hensley makes the catch and the side is retired. So Belloso loads the bases with two outs in the top of the second inning, but he gets out of it unscathed. I think the teams really felt like they had an idea of what he would be like. Hat nice little sliding diving for the gold glover says I got you, Shoda. We're out here, we'll vacuum it up. Here's the ground ball towards second, fielded by Horner. He'll throw to first in time.

Suzuki cracking his 17th home run of the year in the first inning. The runner not going. Here's a swing and drive deep left center field. I think he's done it again. Another home run for Suzuki left center gone by plenty cubs lead three nothing. It's the Sea show here in South Florida. Big swing in the bat by sea and he knew it the second he hit it , Imana with a little bit of a cushion to lean on cubs. Lead three. Nothing. Nobody has reached base against Imana.

Here comes the set and the 11 pitch on the way to sanchez rolled out to short scooped up by Swanson throws to first another 123 inning three perfect innings for Imano. Now Crow Armstrong off first base dancing but staying put on the first pitch. I drive down the left field line base hit Armstrong racing around second going to third. The throw goes to second base. It's going to be a play there and a safe beautiful slide by the catcher. Now, how about this? You walks a right hander. I know he's hit two bombs to get the belly part of the lineup. This is not something you see every day. The 11 pitch swung on and popped up on the left side of the infield for Connor Norby. He makes the catch and the side is retired and the young rookie right Valente be also got out of it unscathed, delivering ball one to Connor, Norby. Norby and burger and Then swinging to drive in the air deep center. Come on, baby get going and Conor Norby with its first big fly as a Marlin and it's 3 to 1. Chicago here in the fourth. Connor Norby has been putting together such great at bat this time all over a four seam fastball line drive and a base hit and that one will get into the left field corner, Niko around first and into second and he's got a double. Here's a ground ball hit sharply into the hole. Brus got it. He'll go to second. What a heads up play. Now, they've got him at a run down Lopez running Horner back towards third. They tag him out after the ball ended up with Connor Norby racing and getting to second on the play with dan V Swanson. Expect Peak Armstrong to swing, want him to drive in this run with two outs. Here's the one, one to PC A. He swings and drills one and deep to right way out of here. An upper deck job by Pete Crow Armstrong. What a blast by Pete Crow Armstrong and the Cubs extend the lead 5 to 1 over the Marlins here in the fifth. What a shot now, Pete has done a good job of electrifying these Cub fans who've made their way to Miami and this ball is thumped halfway up the bleachers in right field. Now, the Cubs have men at 1st and 2nd 2 away and Michael Bush will stand in mcmillan deals and Busch. It's a dribbler off the third base line. It is barehanded by mcmillan who throws the ball and a foul all the way to left coming in to score a Mayer around third and racing home is he scores as well. It is now 7 to 1 Cubs over the Marlins and the first pitch to David Hemsley and someone hit a home run. We can get back in this game. Fly ball right center field might get the home run first Rod. How about that David Hensley to right center field just enough to get it over the wall. I've been waiting for his power to show up. Have you guys been watching this big boy take BP? Yes, sir. He's six feet, six inches man at second with nobody out. Good pitch swing and a miss pride is gone and there's one away swing and a miss. There's another strikeout two outs in the inning. Derek Hill stepping in 32 pitch line drive caught by Swanson at short. Dansby was ready to make a leaping try but didn't have to soft line drive right to the shortstop ends. The inning. Say a two homers, a walk and a strikeout. Now the right hander comes back , here's a drive to deep right field back goes Hensley near the track. It's over his head up against the wall Suzuki around second. He's got a triple scoring on the play, Michael Bush. That's a nice little frosting on your cake, Ron. You've already got two home runs. You might as well add a trip. Absolutely. As a sweeper misses Lowe to sanchez, it's a ball and two strikes and deals the ball pulled on the ground to third fielded by Pertus goes to second. There's the force that's the inning. No runs, one hit. First two Cubs reach here in the eighth inning. Here is Pete Pro Armstrong. He lines on the deep right field going back as Hensley hits over his head bouncing away. This is going to drive in a run. It's a double for Pete Pro Armstrong and he has one more reason to remember this weekend series run 11 to 2. The Cubs on top Bush with another good day. So he's taking and that's ball four. He gets an RB I Bush gets a run batted in even though he never took the bat off his shoulder. You open up and say Suzuki up over 830 now for the runners for the Cubs who scored twice in the inning, this one to second base Lopez for one on the first, a double play. Vidal Bruja rushing it up there at 82 miles an hour. There's no sign he just throw, throw the glove up and gets him with the breaking ball about that drops it in there. That, that was a really good deuce right there. This ball could go a really long way. It really good. Yeah, I mean, like a really long Patrick hits a high drive deep left field. This ball is long gone, good, go run a screaming line drive home run for wisdom and it's turned into an absolute rout and now the Marlins are down to their last chance nely fires that one lined to Right. And it is there to make the catch ball game Cubs win and they are back to 500 for the first time since that win on June 5th.
