Seiya Suzuki hit two of the Cubs’ five homers Saturday in a 6-1 defeat of the Tigers.
Here’s an odd one: the Cubs scored six runs today without ever taking an at-bat with a man in scoring position. Besides the homers from Suzuki, Michael Busch, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matt Shaw, they had just three other players reach. One scored on Busch’s blast, and the other two were stranded at first. Suzuki’s homers were projected at 376 and 395 feet, and he also had a 108-mph lineout that went 350 feet. It’s his sixth career two-homer game. Three of those have come this year.
