In Monday's MLB action, Japan's Seiya Suzuki starred with three hits, including his 24th home run of the season, playing a key role in the Chicago Cubs' lopsided 17-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Suzuki, enjoying a breakout season with the Windy City club, showed his impressive form from the very first at-bats. His 24th homer was a powerful blast that cleared the fences, further underlining the Japanese slugger's strength and consistent run production.
It wasn't just Suzuki, though—the Cubs' offense fired on all cylinders, piling on runs throughout the game and completely overwhelming their divisional rivals. The victory improves the Cubs' standing and boosts fan confidence during the crucial stretch drive of the season.
For the Brewers, it was a forgettable outing as both their pitching and hitting underperformed. They will need to quickly regain consistency if they hope to stay in the playoff race in the coming weeks.
