Carlos Marmol was pulled from his first save opportunity of the season Monday after allowing three out of the four batters he faced to reach base. Never change, Carlos. After striking out Garret Jones swinging, Marmol hit Andrew McCutchen with a pitch. McCutchen then stole second base and was brought home on an RBI single by Pedro Alvarez. Cubs manager Dale Sveum finally brought the hook after Marmol walked Gaby Sanchez. James Russell was able to get Neil Walker to fly out while Kyuji Fujikawa finished off the Pirates by getting Russell Martin on a routine fly ball. The Cubs were hoping that Marmol could get off to a hot start so that they could trade him, but he's not cooperating with the plan. It might not happen right away, but Fujikawa should have the closer job before long.
