Cubs' losing streak hits 10

MIAMI - Magneuris Sierra hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and the Miami Marlins beat the reeling Chicago Cubs 5-4 on Saturday.

Brian Anderson homered and drove in four runs for Miami, which earned its third consecutive victory. Dylan Floro (4-4) got the win, and Anthony Bender pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

"It was just awesome seeing guys battle," Anderson said. "You get to this point in the season and see how many games back you are and it's easy to kind of roll over in certain games like that. But our guys just kept on fighting."

The Cubs committed four errors in their 10th straight loss, including three by shortstop Sergio Alcántara. It's the second double-digit losing streak for the Cubs after they dropped 11 in a row between June 25 and July 6.

The Cubs trailed 3-1 before Frank Schwindel hit a three-run double off Floro in the eighth. But Miami responded with two runs in the bottom half.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. led off with a double off Codi Heuer (4-2) and advanced to third when Alcántara bobbled Lewis Brinson's grounder. Alcántara then muffed a grounder from Anderson that scored Chisholm.

"You've got to understand that those days are going to come," Cubs manager David Ross said of his shortstop's performance. "I think my main concern is move on to the next pitch and don't show frustration. I think that happens to someone that plays this game long enough. You have to turn the page."

Cubs starter Zach Davies was charged with 3 unearned runs and 4 hits in 6 innings. He struck out seven and walked one, bouncing back after a pair of rough performances.
