Marlins Beat Cubs 7-2, End Losing Streak

The Miami Marlins ended a five-game losing streak with a 7-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, fueled by Connor Norby's home run, double, and single. Marlins' starter Adam Oller allowed one run and four hits over 5 2/3 innings, while Javier Assad of the Cubs pitched a season-high seven innings, yielding three runs. The Marlins broke the game open with a four-run eighth inning led by RBI hits from Jonah Bride, Otto López, and Kyle Stowers. The Cubs, who reached a .500 record at 65-65 after a dominant 14-2 win on Saturday, were thwarted in their attempt to sweep the series. Despite their recent struggles, the Cubs remain in contention for a wild-card spot, albeit with slim chances.
