Chicago Cubs OF Seiya Suzuki returns after five weeks on IL, hits HR in loss

MILWAUKEE -- Chicago Cubs rookie outfielder Seiya Suzuki returned to the lineup after missing about five weeks with a sprained left ring finger and hit a home run in the ninth inning of Monday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

"When he's hot, he's as good of a player as we have," Cubs manager David Ross said before the game. "It's nice to get him back. We'll see how it goes."

It went rather well, as Suzuki went 2 for 4 on the day, including a home run off closer Josh Hader to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead.
