Carlos Marmol was pulled out of the save opportunity after giving up a run in the ninth Friday against the Marlins. It's hard to tell what Marmol was doing out there in the first place after his horrible outing Thursday. He walked the leadoff man and gave up a pair of singles before coming out of this one. What saved him was Marlon Byrd throwing out Hanley Ramirez trying to stretch the second of those singles into a double. With two outs and the tying run on first, Sean Marshall relieved Marmol and struck out Mike Stanton to end the game. Marmol is still the Cubs' closer, but he's due at least one day off now, which could mean another save for Marshall or maybe Kerry Wood on Saturday.
