Marlins vs. Cubs Game Highlights (6/20/21) | MLB Highlights

You see the batting average in the on base percentage one of the same he hasn't taken a walk yet again not a lot of plate appearances up the middle but there is bias. Pretty pretty pretty stuff so much fun asked him earlier this year we did a postgame interview with him I said hey do you are you familiar with Pistol Pete Maravich said no never heard of him I see how to look him up because that's what you remind me of. Well that's a nice mention. He's been the terrific basketball player. Her feet as they should be spectacular work by Baez. Oh my goodness. Wow something early to holler about it. Man on base struck him out tipping point in the third inning and Mills gets the big RBI guy of the Marlins scoreless going to the bottom of the third Cubs to home run centric in their last twelve including the Hayward last twelve runs overall have come by way of Homer but you take anything you get on the three one a walk baserunners David Ross and his Cubs team would like it's a baserunner for somebody to get up there with some power. Toward short. Anderson stops Hayward he's going to turn the corner like he was coming home. Good thing he went back. Rojas made contact Angel Hernandez indicating obstruction and Hayward would have been safe at third base regardless of how this play shook out. I'll have a lot of pace on it and a safe play brought you by life or death. Illinois really is a matter of life or death. Learn more life or death Illinois.com Cubs looking for a score here. It gets away and here comes in the home third Marlins maybe trying to press the case that that was a foul ball but it's just a whiff on the part of Alvaro and that replay showed us J.D. First stomach slide from the alert Hayward so the Cubs get a run here in the third with it without a hit hit a walk in an area and some hustle. One unearned run right now in three and two thirds innings of work it was Hayward that walked and then scored on the pass ball throw down to second and Rizzo is out. Great throw by Alfaro. Terrific play Alfaro and Rojas combined to pick off Anthony Rizzo two to six for the third out and leave Hayward at the plate. No runs no hits. Couple of walks. One was left on base three one here. Want to keep Aguilar from doing damage toward left center. Happ says I got it. He does shut down those mighty Marlins. Longer this goes on it feels like the hitter is getting the advantage. That's I think he referenced a quote from Jimmy Leland who said that and the base percentage for sure swings in the favor of the hitter. More pitches you see. Ruled a base hit nothing to get the crowd wisdom. He had nine straight balls and had some nasty hop Ross talked about the energy with this place and this is for the 30 year old Marisnick first year with the Cubs made his major league debut with the Marlins in twenty thirteen. Roy Ross Dillon the right match with the threat of rain. There's a big RBI single here but way up above the belt ninety two miles fastball at the top of the zone. We'll get on top of the right side as you see from our T-Mobile coverage can get through the third Marisnick with his speed able to get in there just ahead of this throw from Duvall. Working around RBI man Aguilar and Duvall struck him out. Nice work by Ryan to pair on eight pitches he takes care of the Marlins and we're going to the bottom of the sixth. Marlins have not had a runner get to third today. That's how good that pitching has been for the Cubs. Just like that strikeout artist of all time you know he'd love to finish with a punch out. Cubs win and that's how it goes with Kimbrough closing to nothing. The last three wins have come by that exact score of to nothing. Come stay in first place in the central twenty five and twelve at home their fortieth win of the season.
