Designated hitter Seiya Suzuki returned to the lineup for the Cubs’ 3-0 win Saturday against the Reds, after a sprained right ankle sidelined him for two games. And he picked up where he left off, going 2-for-2 with two walks.
Suzuki has essentially replicated his production from last year, in a season where offense is down MLB-wide. And again, he’s finishing on an especially high note. He entered Saturday hitting .330 with a .976 OPS over the past five weeks – putting him in the Top 10 among qualified hitters in both categories.
