Seiya Suzuki stayed hot with an RBI double in a three-run first inning, Frank Schwindel homered and drove in two, and the Chicago Cubs cooled off Kris Bryant and the Colorado Rockies, winning 5-2 on Thursday night.
Suzuki extended his hitting streak to six games since joining the majors from Japan and drove in his 10th run when the Cubs collected five straight hits against Kyle Freeland .
Bryant, the NL MVP when the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, was traded to San Francisco in July and signed a seven-year, $182 million deal with the Rockies after the lockout. "Didn’t have good fastball command, so I had to rely on a lot of my off-speed stuff. And I got singled to death," Freeland said.
"I think it’s usually hard to have a really nice curveball in this climate and he looked like he had some pretty good depth to it," Cubs manager David Ross said.
