Marlins defeat Cubs as umpire call sparks debate in eighth inning

The Miami Marlins secured a 10-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Loan Depot Park. During the eighth inning, umpires ruled Matt Shaw out after a tag by Joe Mack following a wild throw from Javier Sanoja. Chicago unsuccessfully challenged the decision, which officials upheld despite fan criticism regarding Shaw’s movement toward second base. The Marlins received two RBIs each from Sanoja, Mack, Heriberto Hernandez, and Owen Caissie. Tyler Phillips started the game, and the bullpen maintained the lead to close out the win. Miami holds a 72-72 record and is currently four games behind for the final National League Wild Card position. With 18 games remaining in their regular season, the Marlins continue a nine-game homestand with upcoming series against the Mets and the Dodgers.
