Seiya Suzuki homered for the second straight night as the Chicago Cubs overcame Kyle Hendricks’ early exit and defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3 on Tuesday night.
Hendricks left after three innings with a sore right shoulder. The right-hander threw 69 pitches, with his velocity slightly lower than usual.
Suzuki broke a 2-all tie and put the Cubs ahead for good by lining a two-run shot just to the right of the left-field foul pole in the fifth inning. He also had an RBI single in the Cubs’ four-run sixth. Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer for Milwaukee in the first inning. His last 10 hits have gone for extra bases, tying a Brewers record Ryan Thompson set in 2002.
The Cubs scored a run in the fourth without hitting the ball out of the infield. After they loaded the bases on a walk, a hit batter and an infield single, Patrick Wisdom scored from third when Nelson Velázquez grounded out.The rally started when Brewers shortstop Willy Adames fielded a one-out grounder and threw wildly to first, allowing Nico Hoerner to reach second on the error.
