MIAMI — Eerily similar to the night before, Steven Okert took the mound in the eighth inning Wednesday and the Miami Marlins’ demise began.
The left-handed reliever walked the first two batters and then scooped up a bunt from Esteban Quiroz, which would load the bases, but missed the throw to Charles Leblanc, who was covering first base. This allowed Chicago’s Zach McKinstry to score.
Then the runs kept coming.
