Analysis: Marmol (2-3, 5.48 ERA) had given up only one run in his previous 9 1-3 innings pitched, but failed to deliver for the Cubs in the eighth on Saturday. He walked three and gave up two hits while recording one out. Marmol has allowed two runs or more in four of his 24 appearences this season and the four runs allowed to Arizona marked a season high.

Analysis: Marmol walked two and hit a batter before he was pulled in the eighth inning. He was charged with three of the four runs in the frame and saw his ERA rise to 6.17. Marmol had a 10-inning scoreless streak before that game. He gave up a combined five runs in his first three appearances this season.

Analysis: That was three months ago, when the Cubs asked Marmol to waive his limited no-trade clause because they were close to finalizing a deal to acquire Dan Haren from the Angels. Marmol is still with the Cubs, and his status is still unclear. Marmol is entering the final year of a three-year, $9.8 million. The 2008 All-Star is certain to be trade bait for the rebuilding organization near the July 31 trade deadline if the Cubs are out of contention.
