Weathers has a strong start, but game gets away from Marlins in the sixth en route to a 14-1 defeat
Briefly

In a disappointing game for the Miami Marlins, their bullpen collapse led to a 14-1 defeat against the Chicago Cubs. Starter Ryan Weathers had a strong outing but was replaced after five innings. The game unraveled when Calvin Faucher allowed six runs without getting an out in the sixth inning. This performance marked the most runs and hits allowed by the Marlins in an inning this season, with the Cubs finishing the game with a season-high 21 hits. Despite an equalizing home run from Nick Fortes, the Marlins could not recover from the bullpen breakdown.
Cal's been throwing the ball so well. Outside of the leadoff walk, he was victimized with some base hits that fell in front and found holes through the infield. Unfortunately, we couldn't really stop the bleeding.
The runs and hits were the most allowed by the Marlins in an inning this season. The Cubs' 21 hits for the game were a season high for a Marlins' opponent.
