Seiya Suzuki

Suzuki doubled and scored a run in the opening frame before smacking a solo shot -- his 14th big fly of the season -- off Brewers reliever Bryse Wilson in the third inning. The 29-year-old corner outfielder is batting .264 (80-for-303) with 42 runs scored, 14 homers, 47 RBI and 10 steals across 78 games.

Seiya Suzuki slammed a home run to give the Chicago Cubs a lead over the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Cubs had just one hit over eight innings before Hoerner's shot down the right field line got things started in the ninth. Seiya Suzuki went on to single him in afterwards. The 10th was a complete mess for the Diamondbacks, featuring a leadoff intentional walk and then a bunt single because of some indecisive defense on an attempt sacrifice. To tell the truth, Hoerner didn't even have to work the five-pitch walk; only the 3-0 pitch was anywhere close to the strike zone.

Michael Busch and Seiya Suzuki both struck out while up as the tying runs in the ninth. Sewald has converted three saves and pitched four scoreless innings since a horrible week at the beginning of the month in which he gave up seven runs and took three blown saves.

Toy Matsushita, the Japanese interpreter of Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, was dismissed by the team. He had served in the role since Suzuki's arrival in 2022.
