The Miami Marlins defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Wednesday, marking the second consecutive night the Marlins have prevented the Cubs from clinching a playoff spot, per ESPN.
Kyle Stowers powered Miami's offense with a two-run home run—his 21st of the season, according to Sportsnet. Griffin Conine and Javier Sanoja added two hits each for the Marlins. For the Cubs, Dansby Swanson drove in both runs, per Yahoo Sports.
The Cubs entered Wednesday needing either a win or an Arizona loss to Colorado to secure an NL wild-card berth, Yahoo Sports reported. The loss leaves Chicago's playoff hopes dependent on other results.
