Chicago Cubs Japanese outfielder Seiya Suzuki had an eventful day.
Suzuki recorded a multi-hit home game against the 2023 Major League Baseball New York Mets held at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, USA on the 26th (Korean time).
Although the team lost 1-10, it was a day not to laugh at. However, at bat, he made a three-on-base game with two hits in three at-bats and one walk. He recorded a multi-hit in five games after visiting the Philadelphia Phillies on the 20th.
Suzuki, who started as right fielder and fourth batter, made an infield hit from his first at-bat in the first inning. After one out, Dansby Swanson hit a solo home run, and Ian Happ stepped back with a fly ball to right field, then hit an infield hit with no runners on base.
The good vibes of his first at-bat hit didn’t last long. In the beginning of the third inning when the team was 1-1, when starter Kyle Hendricks allowed a run, he committed an error throwing to third base. Due to Suzuki’s mistake, the opponent’s single hit turned into a double. After that, Hendricks’ run continued, and the Cubs were drawn 1-4.
Suzuki did not lead to a goal, but walked with 2 outs on 1st and 2nd base in the bottom of the 3rd inning. In defense, there was an error, but in the at-bat, he made a multi-on-base game in two at-bats.
And at the beginning of the 4th inning, he made up for the error in the 3rd inning. After two outs, starter Hendricks seemed to lose a double hit to Brandon Nemo.
On the sixth pitch, Nemo’s batted ball went to the middle right. A batted ball that is likely to result in a double if missed. Then it was a situation that could become an additional loss crisis. Right fielder Suzuki followed quickly and caught the ball.스포츠토토
Japanese media ‘Baseball King’ said, “Suzuki played 3 on-base games with 2 hits and 1 walk, but the team suffered a complete defeat.” In the 4th inning defense, he caught a ball that seemed to split the right and middle, and made the local fans boil.”
Suzuki later withdrew with a shortstop fly ball in the 6th inning and completed a multi-hit with an infield hit in the 8th inning.
