Marin Excels in 9-8 Chicago (N) Win
The Chicago (N) Cubs did just enough to sneak past the Houston Astros, 9-8, at Johnny Dang & Co. Sporting Complex. Chicago (N) designated hitter Jose Marin, in particular, had a standout performance. The win was credited to former first round draft pick Joe Campbell in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Eric Reback took the loss. The win has Chicago (N) at 17-30.

An inflection point occurred with two out in the top of the eighth. That's when Cubs center fielder Kevin Gardiner hit a splitter from Eric Reback for a 2-run single. Just like that, Chicago (N) was up, 9-8.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Marin.
