The Marlins’ playoff dreams are slipping away as they drop another heartbreaker to the Cubs, falling to 2-4 on this critical homestand and now four games back in the wild card race. The Cubs jumped out early with four runs, but the Marlins answered with two in the fourth — sparked by a controversial dropped fly ball — and later rallied with two towering homers from Griffin Conine and Kyle Stowers to make it a one-run game. Yet, they couldn’t deliver when it mattered most. Starting pitcher Ryan Gusto struggled mightily, surrendering a season-high ten hits and five runs. With Max Meyer’s return uncertain and the Cubs gunning for a sweep, the Marlins’ window is closing fast — and their bullpen may be their only hope.
