The Florida Marlins’ struggling hitters did just enough to win their series opener with the scuffling Chicago Cubs. Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco is hoping his teammates will help him next. After receiving zero runs of support in his past two outings, Nolasco will try to help Florida clinch its first road series victory in nearly a month Tuesday night. The Marlins had dropped five of six overall and two of three to open a six-game trip before playing at Wrigley Field for the first time this season Monday night. Florida, batting .210 over its last seven games, didn’t get a hit until the sixth inning but scored all of its runs from there in a 4-2 victory. Chris Coghlan, hitting .353 since moving back to the leadoff spot May 6, had an RBI double in the sixth. Ronny Paulino hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh, when Cody Ross also stole home.

Florida’s hitters gave Nolasco an average of nearly 5.8 runs during his 2-0 start but the right-hander hasn’t been as fortunate in back-to-back losses.He didn’t help himself April 30 against Washington, giving up five runs over four innings of a 7-1 defeat. Nolasco pitched better Thursday against San Francisco, allowing three runs over six innings, but his teammates managed only one hit while he was in the game en route to a 6-3 loss. Nolasco will face a Cubs team that’s been outscored 48-26 while dropping six of seven. The majority of those runs came in the lone victory - a 14-7 win at Cincinnati on Friday night. Chicago has a 6.05 staff ERA during its slump. Randy Wells, Tuesday’s scheduled Cubs starter, gave up seven runs in two innings Thursday in Pittsburgh. The 11-1 loss to the Pirates was his first in five decisions dating back to last October.
