Cubs beat Marlins 5-0

CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Hendricks allowed just seven hits in his second career shutout, providing Chicago's bullpen a needed breather.

After a wild, 12-inning win a night earlier in which manager Joe Maddon used 22 players, Hendricks (10-7) threw 123 pitches and lowered his ERA to 2.22, third-best in the majors. He allowed three walks and struck out five.

Anthony Rizzo finished a home run shy of the cycle and reached base five times, and Addison Russell had a two-run single in the first off wild Marlins starter Adam Conley (7-6).
