In a remarkable display of power, Seiya Suzuki contributed to the Chicago Cubs' historic performance against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs secured an 11-3 victory at Wrigley Field, highlighted by a franchise-record eight home runs.
Suzuki initiated the scoring with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning. His hit, a 413-foot blast, set the tone for the Cubs' offensive dominance.
The Cubs' home run barrage involved five different players. Michael Busch led the charge with three home runs, while Pete Crow-Armstrong contributed two. Dansby Swanson and Carson Kelly each added a home run to the tally.
Suzuki's performance included a 1-for-4 showing at the plate, but his RBI total reached 74, tying the current Major League Baseball lead and matching his career high from the previous season. Furthermore, the 30-year-old extended his MLB record for the most home runs in a season by a Japanese right-handed batter.
The win extended the Cubs' winning streak to four games. The victory followed a previous game where the team struggled to score, highlighting the unpredictable nature of baseball. Manager Craig Counsell acknowledged the sport's inherent unpredictability.

Can we please focus on the fact that the Cubs still have a mediocre record overall?
