Cubs Beat Marlins 14-2 to Reach .500

The Chicago Cubs achieved a significant victory over the Miami Marlins, winning 14-2 and marking their return to a .500 record at 65-65 for the first time since June 5. Seiya Suzuki was a standout performer, hitting two home runs and a triple, contributing to a season-high 14 runs scored by the Cubs. Shota Imanaga pitched effectively for seven innings, allowing only two runs, with the Marlins struggling to recover from an early deficit. The Cubs capitalized on errors by Miami, including a notable blunder by pitcher John McMillon that allowed additional runs to score. Despite a home run from Connor Norby, the Marlins' season continues to decline with eight losses in their last nine games, dropping to an NL-worst 46-83. The Cubs will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for the series finale against the Marlins.
