**Cubs Capitalize on Error to Edge Marlins in Series Victory**

**MIAMI** – Kyle Tucker’s stellar performance, highlighted by a home run, proved decisive as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Wednesday. The victory secured a series win for the NL Central-leading Cubs, who have now won seven of their last nine games.

Tucker gave the Cubs an early lead in the first inning with a solo home run off Marlins starter Max Meyer. The Marlins responded in the bottom of the first, tying the game with an RBI infield single from Connor Norby.

The score remained tied until the eighth inning when Cubs rookie Matt Shaw walked, stole second, and advanced on Tucker’s single. Shaw then scored the go-ahead run, taking advantage of a fielding error by Marlins left-fielder Kyle Stowers, who misplayed Tucker’s hit.

Brad Keller (1-0) earned the win in relief for the Cubs, pitching 1 1/3 innings. Daniel Palencia secured his first save with a clean ninth inning. Anthony Bender (1-3) took the loss for the Marlins.

Cubs starter Cade Horton, making his second major league start, pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball. Meyer also pitched well for the Marlins, allowing only one run over six innings.

The Cubs will now travel to Cincinnati for a three-game series starting Friday, with their starting pitcher for the opener yet to be announced. The Marlins head to Los Angeles to face the Angels in a three-game series, with Sandy Alcántara slated to start Friday.
