MLB: Marlins complete first-ever three-game sweep at Wrigley

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Dan Uggla hit a pair of homers and drove in four runs to lead the Florida Marlins over the Chicago Cubs, 9-0, and complete their first three-game series sweep at Wrigley Field in franchise history.

Miguel Cabrera and Josh Willingham also homered for the Marlins, who have started their 11-game road trip perfect after being swept in three games at the hands of the Mets at home over the weekend.

Cabrera finished 2-for-5 with two runs scored and Aaron Boone had two hits and scored three times for Florida, which jumped ahead early and never looked back.

Florida starter Sergio Mitre was cruising through four innings of work before he had to leave the game with an injury. After laying down a sacrifice bunt attempt, the throw to first by Chicago starter Ted Lilly hit Mitre in the neck area. However, it was a cramp in his right hamstring that forced him from the game.

Randy Messenger (1-1) took over on the hill and got credit with the win. Mitre allowed just three hits and struck out seven with one walk. Messenger yielded two hits and whiffed a pair over two innings. Renyel Pinto, Justin Miller and Lee Gardner completed the five-hit shutout.
