Cubs' Marshall gets lit up by Dodgers
After hearing before the game that he was heading to the bullpen, Sean Marshall was lit up for eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 1/3 innings by the Dodgers on Sunday night.
Way to go, Lou. Maybe when you give Marshall the ball for his next relief appearance, you can tell him his dog died. Marshall had allowed more than three runs in just one of his starts this season and that one time was a direct result of two inherited runners scored in the eighth inning of an outing last month against the Giants. May. 31 - 11:31 pm et
NOTES, QUOTES
--Marshall will head to the bullpen once Harden returns to the rotation from the DL. 
Piniella said Marshall will give the Cubs an experienced lefty in the pen, something they lack now with the demotion of Neal Cotts to Class AAA Iowa (Des Moines). Marshall had success last year as both a starter and reliever.

05.26 - Marshall gets third win
Sean Marshall moved to 3-3 by holding the Pirates to one run over five innings in a 6-1 rain-shortened win on Tuesday night.
The game was called in the top of the sixth inning due to rain. Marshall has allowed more than three runs in just one start this season, but has failed to make it past the seventh inning in any of his seven starts. He gave up just four hits in this one, as the only run came home on a fourth-inning Robinzon Diaz RBI single. He fanned six and walked two in the win and has made a real case to stay in the rotation with the strong performance. May. 27 - 12:22 am et
