Seiya Suzuki hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Saturday for their sixth straight win.
“It felt awesome just to get back on the mound today and have a home start at Wrigley to finish the season off,” Smyly said.
Miley worked two innings in his first appearance since he left his Sept. 24 start at Pittsburgh because of left oblique tightness. Hughes entered after Jake Fraley walked with two outs in the ninth and struck out pinch-hitter Alejo Lopez for his eighth save.“I don’t know how much longer I’m going to get to do it,” the 35-year-old lefty said, “so anytime I get an opportunity to spike it up, I’m going to do it.
“He’s gotten better every step of the way,” Bell said, “and that’s exactly what you want from a young pitcher.”
