Chicago Cubs get just enough offense to beat Marlins

Chicago Cubs bats have been sleepy lately. But they were awake just enough Sunday for a 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs scored on a wild pitch in the first inning, getting one hit in the inning. They then went until the eighth before getting another hit but still managed the victory, managing 3 hits foe the game.

Kyle Hendricks started for the Cubs and pitched 7⅓ innings of scoreless ball, giving up 5 hits while walking one and striking out six. It was the Cubs' sixth straight quality start.

The Cubs opened the scoring in the bottom of the first. Chris Coghlan walked with one out and went to third on Kris Bryant's single. Bryant stole second base with Miguel Montero up. Montero struck out, and Coghlan scored on Mat Latos' wild pitch with Starlin Castro at the plate.

In the eighth, pinch hitter Chris Denorfia led off with a double to the gap in right-center. After Addison Russell popped out and Dexter Fowler struck out, Chris Coghlan singled Denorfia home.

First baseman Anthony Rizzo got the day off for the Cubs.

In Saturday night's 7-2 victory over the Marlins, the Cubs got 4 hits, but 2 were home runs by Bryant, including a grand slam.
