Marlins edge Cubs with late rally for second straight win

The Miami Marlins defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on September 23, taking their second consecutive victory in the series. Starting pitcher Ryan Gusto allowed two runs in 5.1 innings, while Kyle Stowers hit a two-run homer to break a scoreless tie in the sixth. The game was tied 2-2 entering the seventh when Joe Mack drove in the game-winning run. The Cubs remain on the brink of clinching a playoff berth, needing one win or a loss by the Arizona Diamondbacks to secure their NL Wild Card spot. Miami will finish their season series at Wrigley Field on Thursday before heading home for their final three games against the Atlanta Braves.
