MILWAUKEE -- Chicago Cubs rookie outfielder Seiya Suzuki returned to the lineup after missing about five weeks with a sprained left ring finger and legged out an inside the park 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 clutch home run to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth.
