Chicago Cubs’ Seiya Suzuki rounds first after hitting a triple off New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (23) in the second inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023, in New York.

NEW YORK — Seiya Suzuki blasted a home run over the left-field wall in the ninth inning to keep alive the Cubs’ hopes of a comeback that ultimately fell short.

With the Cubs’ 4-3 loss to the Mets, they ended their streak of six straight series wins.

Suzuki made a triumphant return to the starting lineup on Wednesday after being out of it for the past four games, with right-handed opposing starters on the mound.
