CHICAGO -- The winning rally lacked a signature hit, and that was just fine with the Chicago Cubs. To them, Wednesdays comeback was a testament to the teams collective resolve.Matt Szczur scored on A.J. Ramos wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, capping a three-run rally that gave the Cubs a 5-4 victory and a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins.Chicago tied it when Ramos (1-1) walked Ben Zobrist with the bases loaded and two outs.I think weve got a good group, Cubs starter John Lackey said. A group that keeps fighting.Chicago manager Joe Maddon also credited those among the Wrigley Field crowd of 41,147 who stayed until the end.They had so much energy, Maddon said. It was a long day and it was hot out there and we have to get on the road. All those different mental factors, and our fans picked us up.It was Ramos second blown save in 33 chances this season.Miguel Montero started the rally with a leadoff double and went to third on a single by Javier Baez. Szczur was pinch-hitting when he drew a walk from Ramos that loaded the bases. Dexter Fowler made it 3-2 with a sacrifice fly, and all the runners advanced.Kris Bryant struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch for the second out, and Anthony Rizzo was intentionally walked to load the bases again. The strategy backfired when Ramos, who threw just 13 strikes in 35 pitches, walked Zobrist and then unloaded a game-ending wild pitch with Willson Contreras at the plate.My job was to get Zobrist out there and I just didnt execute, Ramos said. I was trying to go for the strikeout or get some weak contact. But I couldnt get it in the zone where I wanted to.It was just one of those days, I guess.Zobrists teammates credited him for resisting the temptation to go out of the zone for a walk-off hit.With Zobrist, hes not going to swing (just) to swing, Montero said. (Ramos) was nibbling.Chicago cut it to 4-2 in the eighth when Fowler scored on Fernando Rodneys wild pitch.Jeff Mathis hit a two-run homer for Miami. Christian Yelich also connected and drove in two runs. Tom Koehler tossed six strong innings to help the Marlins take a 4-1 lead heading to the bottom of the eighth.Mathis drive snapped a 1-all tie in the seventh and was just the second of the season for the backup catcher.Justin Grimm (1-0) pitched the ninth inning for the win. Chicago has won seven of eight after slumping early last month.Koehler gave up five hits and one run while striking out seven.Lackey allowed seven hits and three runs in seven innings while striking out eight.GREAT EXPECTATIONSWith the Cubs surging again, Lackey was asked what fair expectations are for this season. Fair expectations? Were trying to win the World Series, he said. I didnt come here for a haircut. I came here for jewelry.FRIENDLY CONFINESYelich, who was 3 for 4, has hit safely in all 12 career games he has played at Wrigley Field. He is 21 for 51 in those games for a .412 batting average.ICHIRO UPDATEIchiro Suzuki lined out softly to shortstop as a pinch-hitter in the seventh against Lackey. Suzuki remained at 2,998 career hits, two shy of becoming the 30th player to reach 3,000.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour, out since July 3 with a right ankle sprain, is expected to return Friday at Colorado.Cubs: RHP Jason Hammel was placed on the bereavement list and Grimm was recalled from Triple-A Iowa. Hammel is expected to make his next scheduled start on Tuesday.UP NEXTMarlins: Following a day off, RHP David Phelps (5-5, 2.65 ERA) makes his first start of the season Friday in the opener of a three-game series at Colorado. LHP Jorge De La Rosa (7-7, 5.51) goes for the Rockies.Cubs: They are off Thursday before opening a three-game series at Oakland on Friday. LHP Jon Lester (11-4, 2.95 ERA) faces LHP Dillon Overton (1-2, 9.33) in the opener. Cheap Jordan From China . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Cheap Jordans . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. http://www.wholesaleairjordanfromchina.com/ . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at . Wholesale Air Jordan .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. OMAHA, Neb. -- Michael Phelps chuckled. He paused. Then he looked away. He needed a second. The man who had spent almost his entire career hiding his true emotions was about to break down in tears. A few minutes earlier, in the arena where he has created so many memories over the past eight years, he had just qualified for his fifth consecutive Olympic team, a first for a U.S. male. And without much time to process, he struggled to articulate exactly what it meant.That was probably harder than any swim I had in my life, Phelps confessed.For once, it wasnt entirely about what had just happened in the water. Oh sure, he was pleased to win Wednesday nights 200-meter butterfly (1:54.84), the event in which he first qualified for the Olympics 16 years ago as well as the one in which his older sister, Whitney, once competed. But this was just as much about the person Phelps had become as an adult. The one who spent 45 days at an inpatient addiction treatment facility in late 2014 after his second DUI arrest. The one who is rebuilding his relationship with his father, whom he hadnt talked to regularly for decades. The one who finally stopped stiff-arming the people who cared about him most whenever they suggested he needed to grow up and change. And the one who is embracing the final chapter of his swimming career and allowing himself to feel all those emotions he for so long tried to shove away.Its just where Im at in life, Phelps explained later. Things are probably going to hit me a lot more emotionally now than what they would have in the past because Im enjoying and embracing the moment.This week, every time he has walked into CenturyLink Center for finals, Phelps says he has felt chills. They were there Sunday night when he raised his hands high above his head to cheer for teammate and good friend Chase Kalisz in the 400-meter individual medley. They were there a day later when he did the same for Allison Schmitt, who lives with him and his fiancé in Arizona. And they were there Tuesday and Wednesday when he was the one diving into the water.Wednesday, when he competed in his first final at these trials, it was fitting in a way that he and the other seven finalists in the 200 fly paraded onto the pool deck to Mark Morrisons Return of the Mack. A few minutes later, he was returning to the Olympics. When it was over, Phelps hung on the lane line and signaled No. 5 with his hand.In the stands, his fiancé, Nicole Johnson, bobbed up and down with their 7-week-old baby, Boomer, in his arms, the boys ears covered in red, white and blue stars-and-stripes headphones. To their left, Michaels mother, Debbie, frantically cheered. And four seats down the row, Michaels father, Fred, clapped in proud approval. And then there was his sister Hillary, newly married. This is what mattered most, a group unlike any other that had cheered for him in any of his previous four trials. From his future wife and son to his father, whom he was barely talking to during the Beijing and London Olympics, one night after meeting Boomer for the first time.Its just really good to have kind of the whole family here, Phelps said later. Everybody froom my mom to Nicole to my father and Boomer.dddddddddddd Having them all here to support me, together -- its just amazing. Phelps said Boomer had managed to stay awake for most of his dads race. After receiving his medal, he walked over to where his family was sitting, handed his championship flowers to Nicole and leaned in to give Boomer a kiss.I just wanted to share that with them, he said. Its just special being able to have Nicole and Is first born being part of this journey that we are on right now.Phelps wasnt thrilled with his time Wednesday night. It was the fifth-fastest time in the world this year and almost two seconds off his top time from 2015. But all that mattered was finishing the race with a 1 or 2 next to his name and earning one of those 26 spots on the U.S. team. For the fifth time. Its a stunning accomplishment, really. Consider that the main story line from here this week has been the changing of the guard, with 19 of the 27 swimmers who have made the team so far heading to their first Olympics. Digging deeper, of the nine reigning Olympic gold medalists from London who are competing at trials, four of them have thus far failed to make the 2016 team in that same event. And yet Phelps just qualified for his fifth consecutive Olympics. On the eve of his 31st birthday. At a time when the average age of the 13 potential U.S. men to make the team before him was 23.2.Back in 2000, after making the team in the 200 fly, Phelps coach Bob Bowman said the post-race news conference was filled with questions like, Do you have a girlfriend? and Have you kissed her? Now the questions are about fatherhood. And legacy. Weve progressed in subject matter over the 16 years, Bowman joked Wednesday night.Thursday, Phelps will celebrate his birthday by swimming in the prelims and likely semifinals of the 200-meter individual medley, another event in which he had the top time in the world in 2015. Depending on when he gets out of the arena, there might be a dinner with family and friends, but for the most part the celebrating will be muted. Between now and when trials end Sunday, there will be no days off. Every session Ill be going, Ill be firing.Phelps has made a career out of refusing to discuss his end-of-season goals and this, his final year, has been no different. But after his victory Wednesday night, he hinted at what might be in store for Rio. Its a jaw dropper. Phelps suggested that hed like to get one more personal best before he retires, something he hasnt done since world championships in 2009, the last major international meet with speed-inducing tech suits.Its been a hell of a long time since Ive had a best time, Phelps said. Hopefully I can get one more in the last four weeks or so, here or there.With everything that hell be facing in and out of the water, it wont be easy in Rio. Especially in the 200 fly, the race that has meant so much to him all these years.This 200 fly that will happen in the next couple weeks, he said, will be harder than any 200 fly Ive ever done.
