Treanor, Cabrera help send Cubs to second straight loss

<h3>FLORIDA 7, CHICAGO CUBS 4</h3>MIAMI (Ticker) -- Matt Treanor's RBI single in the fifth inningbroke open a tie game and Miguel Cabrera cemented it two inningslater with a two-run homer, helping the Florida Marlins downthe Chicago Cubs, 7-4, on Wednesday.


The Marlins' second straight win over Chicago (83-75) left theNational League Central-leading Cubs with a slim two-game leadin the division over the Milwaukee Brewers (81-76).

The Brewers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, earlierWednesday.


"Maybe we're pressing a little bit," Cubs second baseman MarkDeRosa said. "I'd like to think we're not playing tight, butmaybe there are some circumstances where we are."


"They're going home and they want to take somebody home withthem," Cubs outfielder Jacque Jones said of the Marlins. "We'vegot to not let that happen. I still think we feel like we'rein first place, which we are. That's the bottom line."

The Marlins are enjoying their role in the playoff race, even ifit is only as a spoiler.


"We're right in the middle of the eye of the storm to make animpact," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It's a goodthing. The better thing is to be in the Cubs' situation, twogames up and winning their division. But it's nice to be a partof something important."


"They (the Cubs) have got a lot more to lose than we do,"Marlins reliever Lee Gardner said. "Whether or not they'repressing, they're competitive, they're all ballplayers. They'rein the hunt."


Tied, 4-4, in the fifth, Todd Linden hit a two-out double offCubs starter Jason Marquis (12-9). Five pitches later, Treanorlined a single to the left-center field gap to plate Linden forthe go-ahead run at 5-4 but was thrown out trying to stretch thehit into a double.


"It felt good," Treanor said. "I was trying to stretch it outinto a double and get into scoring position (myself) but the guy(Alfonso Soriano) has got a pretty good arm out there."

In the seventh, Cabrera followed Jeremy Hermida's one-out doublewith a home run off Cubs reliever Carlos Marmol, who had notbeen scored upon in 18 straight appearances, spanning 22 1/3innings. For the four-time All-Star, it was his career-high34th homer, surpassing the 33 he has hit in three of the pastfour seasons.


The 34 home runs are the second-best mark in club history,trailing only the 42 that Gary Sheffield belted in 1998.

Logan Kensing (2-0) yielded one hit over two scoreless inningsto get the win. Gardner, the eighth and final pitcher of thecontest, worked around a double from Daryle Ward in the ninthfor his second save in as many chances and first save sinceApril 8.


Marquis surrendered five runs - four earned - and nine hits overfive innings to take the loss for the Cubs, who have lost ninestraight games to the Marlins - the longest losing streak infranchise history to Florida.


"We haven't had success against this team," Cubs manager LouPiniella said. "They've got our number. We'll beat these guystomorrow, and go from there."
