Summary
The Cubs pulled off a gritty 6-5 win over the Marlins, thanks to Javier Assad’s resilient start and a dominant bullpen finish. Assad battled through five walks and three runs but kept it close with just three hits allowed over four and two-thirds innings. Michael Conforto and Ian Happ delivered key offense — Happ’s bases-loaded single gave Chicago breathing room. Despite leaving runners on base and a costly pitch-clock violation, the Cubs’ pitching staff held strong, especially Ryan Zeferjahn, who earned his first save as a Cub. Manager Counsell praised Assad’s versatility and mental toughness — a vital asset as the team seeks consistency.
