Marlins power past Cubs 3-1 at foggy Wrigley Field

Kyle Stowers hit a pair of solo home runs and tripled, Ryan Weathers tossed five strong innings in his return to Miami’s rotation and the Marlins topped the Chicago Cubs 3-1 on Wednesday night to end a three-game slide.

Agustín Ramírez also homered and doubled to help Miami avoid being swept at foggy Wrigley Field and win for just the fourth time in 17. Stowers homered for the second straight game to increase his season total to 10. He's hit four homers in six games and had three multi-homer games this season.

Seiya Suzuki homered for one of two hits off Weathers (1-0), who made his first start this season. The left-hander struck out five and walked one before exiting after 76 pitches. 

Four Miami relievers combined for four shutout innings. Jesús Tinoco tossed a 1-2-3 ninth for his fourth save after blowing a two-run lead Tuesday in Chicago’s 5-4 win.

Chicago's Jameson Taillon (2-3) allowed three runs and four hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked none.

The Cubs host the crosstown White Sox on Friday.
