CHICAGO (AP) — Jesús Sánchez hit a massive solo homer and an RBI single,úsSá helping the Miami Marlins beat the Chicago Cubs 6-3 on Sunday.

Sánchez, Luis Arraez, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Nick Fortes each had two hits as Miami salvaged a split of the four-game series. The last-place Marlins are 6-8 since they opened the season with nine consecutive losses.

“I honestly think that we have a really good team,” Sánchez said through a translator. “I think you’re seeing it out there with the hits that we’re getting. ... I think right now we’re in harmony is how I would describe it.”

Miami right-hander Edward Cabrera (1-0) pitched five innings of three-run ball in his second start. He struck out seven and walked three.

The 26-year-old Cabrera was hurt by a couple of well-placed hits, especially in the fourth. But he persevered through the tough luck.
