Suzuki led the offensive
The Chicago offense featured a stellar performance by Japan’s Seiya Suzuki, who hit the third grand slam of his Major League career to boost the Cubs’ attack.
Alex Bregman also contributed with the bat by hitting a two-run home run, while Carson Kelly added a solo homer to complete a productive day for the home lineup.
The Chicago team recorded its highest offensive production since last May 27, when it scored ten runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A match of emotions and controversy
The Rockies started at a good pace thanks to the initial work of Ryan Feltner, who retired the first nine batters he faced. However, the Cubs’ offense reacted starting in the fourth inning and took control of the game.
The game also had a tense moment in the sixth inning when Chicago manager Craig Counsell was ejected after arguing a double play call that he believed should have been ruled a foul after the ball apparently hit the catcher’s shin guard.
Colorado showed power, but it wasn’t enough
For the Rockies, Brett Sullivan hit two home runs and Cole Carrigg added a solo homer, continuing a promising start to his career after debuting in the Major Leagues just days ago.
However, Colorado’s offensive push was not enough to counter the Cubs’ explosive awakening.
Cabrera continues to consolidate
With this victory, Edward Cabrera continues to strengthen his campaign and provide stability to the Chicago rotation. The Dominican right-hander once again demonstrated control and effectiveness in key moments, keeping the opposing offense at bay and putting his team in a position to secure the win.
The combination of Cabrera’s solid work and the explosive offensive production allowed the Cubs to get back on the winning track and close the series with an important victory against Colorado.
