导出博客文章CHICAGO -- The winning rally lacked a signature hit, and that was just fine with
the Chicago Cubs. To them, Wednesdays comeback was a testament to the teams
collective resolve.Matt Szczur scored on A.J. Ramos wild pitch in the bottom of
the ninth inning, capping a three-run rally that gave the Cubs a 5-4 victory and
a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins.Chicago tied it when Ramos (1-1) walked
Ben Zobrist with the bases loaded and two outs.I think weve got a good group,
Cubs starter John Lackey said. A group that keeps fighting.Chicago manager Joe
Maddon also credited those among the Wrigley Field crowd of 41,147 who stayed
until the end.They had so much energy, Maddon said. It was a long day and it was
hot out there and we have to get on the road. All those different mental
factors, and our fans picked us up.It was Ramos second blown save in 33 chances
this season.Miguel Montero started the rally with a leadoff double and went to
third on a single by Javier Baez. Szczur was pinch-hitting when he drew a walk
from Ramos that loaded the bases. Dexter Fowler made it 3-2 with a sacrifice
fly, and all the runners advanced.Kris Bryant struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch
for the second out, and Anthony Rizzo was intentionally walked to load the bases
again. The strategy backfired when Ramos, who threw just 13 strikes in 35
pitches, walked Zobrist and then unloaded a game-ending wild pitch with Willson
Contreras at the plate.My job was to get Zobrist out there and I just didnt
execute, Ramos said. I was trying to go for the strikeout or get some weak
contact. But I couldnt get it in the zone where I wanted to.It was just one of
those days, I guess.Zobrists teammates credited him for resisting the temptation
to go out of the zone for a walk-off hit.With Zobrist, hes not going to swing
(just) to swing, Montero said. (Ramos) was nibbling.Chicago cut it to 4-2 in the
eighth when Fowler scored on Fernando Rodneys wild pitch.Jeff Mathis hit a
two-run homer for Miami. Christian Yelich also connected and drove in two runs.
Tom Koehler tossed six strong innings to help the Marlins take a 4-1 lead
heading to the bottom of the eighth.Mathis drive snapped a 1-all tie in the
seventh and was just the second of the season for the backup catcher.Justin
Grimm (1-0) pitched the ninth inning for the win. Chicago has won seven of eight
after slumping early last month.Koehler gave up five hits and one run while
striking out seven.Lackey allowed seven hits and three runs in seven innings
while striking out eight.GREAT EXPECTATIONSWith the Cubs surging again, Lackey
was asked what fair expectations are for this season. Fair expectations? Were
trying to win the World Series, he said. I didnt come here for a haircut. I came
here for jewelry.FRIENDLY CONFINESYelich, who was 3 for 4, has hit safely in all
12 career games he has played at Wrigley Field. He is 21 for 51 in those games
for a .412 batting average.ICHIRO UPDATEIchiro Suzuki lined out softly to
shortstop as a pinch-hitter in the seventh against Lackey. Suzuki remained at
2,998 career hits, two shy of becoming the 30th player to reach 3,000.TRAINERS

Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back
injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play
as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans
wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most
infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could
have won his first playoff game in 2006. CHICAGO -- Dikembe Dixson scored 20
