Morel Homers Twice in 12-11 Cubs Win
Christopher Morel was the difference-maker for the Chicago Cubs in what turned into a shootout with the Miami Marlins. Morel went 4-for-5 in the 12-11 Cubs win. Brandon Hughes, now 2-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 1.1 innings. Codi Heuer picked up the save, his 1st.

Morel had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a first pitch sinker from Carlos Garcia, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Cubs a 12-11 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Morel.

"Crazy game," said Morel after it ended.

With the loss, Miami falls to 12-10.
