He was very fortunate to have allowed only one run in that inning. Meanwhile, even though the Cubs hadn’t planned on a bullpen game, Drew Smyly made it one by struggling through a first inning in which he issued two walks and gave up an RBI single, eventually throwing 36 pitches. The Marlins scratched their starter Bryan Hoeing and made it a bullpen game instead - though Hoeing wound up throwing the third and fourth innings for Miami. ![]() Madrigal’s two-run single with one out in the eighth gave the Cubs the lead and Miguel Amaya followed with an RBI single and the Cubs had a come-from-behind 4-2 win over the Marlins, their second straight. ![]() So today I will give him major props for his game-winning single in the Cubs’ eighth-inning rally. As most of you know, I have been critical of Nick Madrigal on this site in the past. ![]()
