Cubs shutout Marlins 2

The Marlins were bolstered by six strong innings from starter Tom Koehler (7-4) and their other hottest-hitter, Christian Yelich, who crushed a homer over the center-field ivy in the first inning. Later in the inning, Latos’ wild pitch bounced into the stands, allowing Coghlan to score to put the Cubs ahead 1-0.

Pedro Strop replaced Hendricks in the eighth and got two outs before Jason Motte threw a scoreless ninth for the save.

The Marlins say they will reinstate Morse from the disabled list before Sunday’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

CHICAGO (AP) – Kris Bryant wasn’t looking to go deep when he came up in the second inning Saturday night. Baltimore had scored six runs in their previous four games combined.

The loss gave Chicago a series win, and Miami only managed a total of two runs in its last two games.

Schoop was activated from the 60-day DL before the game after being sidelined by a sprained right knee. Hendricks, who blanked the Mets over six innings in his last start, earned his first win in Wrigley in seven starts.

Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson, bolstered by a suddenly resurgent offense, allowed three runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Now would be a good time for the bats to break out with the St. Louis Cardinals coming to town for a four-game series starting Monday. San Diego has lost five of seven. He went 3 for 5, smashed a homer, had two RBIs and recorded his 15th stolen base of the season in Atlanta’s 9-5 win over the Phillies.

3B – Trevor Plouffe, Twins: Falling just a home run shy of the cycle, Plouffe knocked in a run with a triple that scored Joe Mauer for the fifth and final run for the Twins. Hendricks at one point retired 11 straight until Latos singled with one out in the sixth.

Price (8-2) allowed a baserunner in each of his seven innings but the Blue Jays’ only run off him came on a solo home run by Kevin Pillar. Closer Trevor Rosenthal was unavailable after pitching in three successive games.

The Miami Marlins are running out of time to turn their season around, but the team is getting healthier by the day.

Soler is hitting. 265 with four home runs and 19 RBIs in 49 games.

Marlins OF Giancarlo Stanton (left wrist fracture) won’t be off the disabled list for a while and the Marlins just have to deal with that, manager Dan Jennings said. Ramos helped himself with a terrific play on a sacrifice bunt attempt in which he nipped ex- Marlin Chris Coghlan at second base, thanks to a leg-splitting stretch by shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Chicago ranks 23rd in scoring (3.95 rpg), while on the mound they are 4th in ERA (3.36).

In the Chicago Cubs past 13 contests the under has cashed out on 10 occasions. He was 6-4 with a 2.74 ERA in 14 starts at Triple-A Memphis.

Kyle Hendricks made their almost all of one flee while you are dispersing five touches by way of 7/a minimum of three exclude innings within a 2-0 Chicago Cubs triumph over the Miami Marlins on Sunday.

“We call [Ramos] the Cowboy for a reason,” Jennings said.

“””It was a solid team win and we”™re playing really good baseball,” said Koehler, who truly celebrated his daughter Riley”™s 1-year birthday.
