MIAMI -- With a lot of muscle and a little body English, Garrett Jones finally beat the Chicago Cubs shift by clearing it. Jones hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning Tuesday night, and the Miami Marlins rallied to beat Chicago 6-5. Jones had been 0 for 9 in the series against the Cubs, who deployed three infielders to the right of second base against the left-handed hitter. "The shift has taken away some hits," Jones said. "It has frustrated me a little bit mentally, chasing some balls out of the strike zone trying to make something happen. That last at-bat, I just squared it up and wasnt worried about the shift, and was able to get it out." Jones one-out drive hit the top of the wall and bounced into the bullpen for his ninth home run, but his first since May 23. "I was getting up on my tiptoes, wishing it would go over, and it did," he said. Adeiny Hechavarria started the seventh with a bunt single for his fourth hit. Rafael Furcal had a two-out, two-run single in the fourth for his first RBIs since 2012. Hard-luck Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija allowed three runs, two earned, in six innings but again was denied a victory. The Cubs are 4-11 when he starts even though his ERA is 2.78. "Thats the way it goes," Samardzija said. "I go out and pitch and keep doing my job and making improvements. I battled, and I liked the way I finished. I made some good adjustments and finished strong." Luis Valbuenas RBI double in the seventh gave Chicago a 4-3 lead and left Samardzija in line for only his third win. But Miami rallied against Brian Schlitter (2-2). Cubs manager Rick Renteria left the right-hander in the game to face Jones, rather than going with lefty Wesley Wright. "I was 99 per cent convinced Wright was coming in," Jones said. Renteria said he opted for Schlitter against Jones rather than bringing in Wright to face pinch-hitter Jeff Baker. "It was pick my poison," Renteria said. "Schlitt just left the pitch up. Thats obviously not what he wanted to do." Junior Lake hit his ninth homer, and third in five games against the Marlins this year, but the Cubs went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. The Marlins were 2 for 13. Miami, which leads the majors in home victories, improved to 24-14 at Marlins Park. Marlins rookie Anthony DeSclafani, recalled from the minors Monday, gave up four runs in 6 1-3 innings. Sam Dyson (1-0) pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings for his first career win, then was optioned after the game -- as expected -- to Triple-A New Orleans. "We gave him the scorecard," manager Mike Redmond said. "He was pretty fired up about that." Steve Cishek gave up a run in the ninth on Justin Ruggianos sacrifice fly before striking out Anthony Rizzo with the bases empty to earn his 16th save in 17 chances. Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who came into the game leading the NL in home runs and RBIs, went 0 for 4 and stranded five runners. Miami scored an unearned run in the first when the Cubs tried to turn a 3-6-1 double play, and shortstop Starlin Castros errant throw allowed Furcal to come home from third. Furcal returned last week after being sidelined since the end of the 2012 season because of injuries. In the second inning, Lake hit a two-run homer to put the Cubs ahead. Darwin Barney and Eli Whiteside pulled off a double steal -- the first stolen base for each -- and Samardzija followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0. NOTES: Furcal returned to the lineup after sitting out a game to rest a swollen left knee. ... The ballparks retractable roof was closed when a thunderstorm with 50 mph winds passed by in the seventh inning. ... Marlins C Jarrod Saltalamacchia (concussion) caught eight innings in a minor league rehab game Monday and might rejoin the team this weekend. ... Castro hit his 20th double. ... RHP Bryan Morris has yet to allow a run in 9 1-3 innings since being traded to the Marlins. ... Miami RHP Chris Hatcher has recorded 12 of his past 13 outs by strikeout. ...

Houston has completed a deal for the top spot in the MLS allocation order in exchange for midfielder Warren Creavalle, the 14th allocation spot and allocation money. According to MLSsoccer.coms Darrell Lovell, the Dynamo will use the top allocation spot to sign the American national, Beasley. Beasley is currently a free agent, his previous contract with Mexican club Puebla having elapsed. However, were he to make a return to the MLS, he would be subject to the allocation process. The Dynamo were previously 14th in the allocation order, hence their need to trade up in the queue to secure the 32-year-olds services. Beasley just participated in his fourth FIFA World Cup, becoming the first American to appear in four tournaments. He played in all four of the U.S. matches at the tournament. He has 17 international goals, amassing 120 career caps. The signing was made official, Beasley released a statement on his move to Houston. "I am excited and ready to start this new chapter in my career," Beasley said in a statement. "I have heard great things from Brad (Davis) and Rico (Clark) about Houston, the team and the fans, and Im excited to get to know them. I feel fit and ready to go andd hope Dom (coach Dominic Kinnear) will see my work ethic and desire to play at a high level.ddddddddddddquot; Creavalle, 23, has appeared in 16 games with the Dynamo this season, starting 10. He has appeared in 54 career MLS games with the Dynamo over three seasons, notching three goals. He appeared in five MLS Cup Playoff games with the Dynamo in 2013. "Warren is a player that we have been watching closely for some time now and we feel his versatility will be a welcomed addition to our club," Toronto GM Tim Bezbatchenko said. "Houston expressed interest in switching allocation positions so combined with our interest in Warren this move was a win-win for both clubs." Beasley has a history with MLS, though he has not played in the league since 2004. He broke into the league with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 1999 before spending four years with the Chicago Fire. He has spent his subsequent years overseas, spending three years with PSV Eindhoven, a loan spell with Manchester City, three seasons with Scottish side Rangers as well as three years with Germanys Hannover 96. He has been with Puebla since 2011. Head coach Dominic Kinnear of Houston said that "DaMarcus has had a great career, as we saw at the World Cup, to bring in a player of his quality is a big plus for the team." ' ' '
