When last we met in recap-land, a Seiya Suzuki inside-the-park homer had given the Cubs the lead and could have led to one of the most exciting wins of 2022. Instead, David Robertson blew that ninth-inning lead and the Cubs lost Monday in extra innings.
Tuesday, Suzuki hit his second home run in as many days since returning from the injured list. That two-run blast broke a 2-2 tie and this time, not only did the Cubs not blow the lead, they went on to score four more and defeated the Brewers easily, 8-3.
Kyle Hendricks, who’s allowed a lot of home runs the last couple of years, served up a two-run homer to Rowdy Tellez in the first inning.
