Tom Koehler out dueled Jason Hammel and Justin Bour homered for the fourth straight game as the Miami Marlins defeated the Chicago Cubs 2-1 from Wrigley Field. Koehler improved to 7-and-4 after throwing six innings of one run ball. Christian Yelich also homered for the Fish, who have won four consecutive games. Both runs Hammel surrendered were solo home runs, as the righty gave up just four hits while falling to 5-and-4. Miguel Montero drove in the Cubs lone run, as the team saw their game win streak come to an end.
Game #2 of the series is tonight at Wrigley Field.
