Although Carlos Marmol came close to blowing a three-run lead in the ninth inning Thursday, Cubs manager Dale Sveum wasn't disappointed with his closer's performance.
"He gave up hits, but it wasn't like he was throwing the ball all over the place," Sveum told MLB.com. "For the most part, we know things like that can get interesting with him. He was OK. It didn't seem that way, but it wasn't too bad."
