Seiya Suzuki delivered a clutch moment for the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, smashing a three-run homer that gave the team an 11-8 lead and capped their biggest comeback of the season. Trailing by as many as five runs earlier in the game, the Cubs clawed their way back thanks to a resilient offensive performance, culminating in Suzuki’s blast that sent Wrigley Field into a frenzy.
The Cubs’ bullpen held firm in the later innings, preserving the lead after the dramatic go-ahead home run. Suzuki, who had been in a bit of a slump, showed why he remains one of the Cubs’ most dangerous hitters, turning on a fastball and launching it deep into the left-field bleachers. His emphatic swing and confident bat flip said it all—“See-ya,” indeed.
This win could prove to be a turning point for Chicago, who have struggled to find consistency in the early part of the season. The comeback marks a much-needed morale boost and highlights the depth and resilience of their lineup. With this kind of fight, the Cubs are showing signs they might still be serious contenders in the NL Central. For now, Suzuki’s heroics give fans plenty to cheer about.
