■ Cubs 8-5 Mariners (Open match, 31st Japan time, Mesa)

Cubs’ Seiya Suzuki outfielder started in the open match against the Mariners on the 30th (31st Japan time) with “No. 2 right wing”. He graced the long-awaited major first hit with his first home run in the third at bat.

4-2, 4th inning, 2nd base. When the third ball from count 1-1 is swung, the high hit ball goes to the left middle stand. He saw the whereabouts of the hit ball and grabbed his fist small. In a loud cheer, he went around the diamond, and when he was greeted by his teammates on the bench, he gave a high five with a big smile.

The opponent is Marco Gonzales, a left-handed man who boasts 51 major wins. Before the ace class, who served as the opening pitcher from 2019 to 2021, the first at-bat in the first time struck out with three balls, and the second at-bat in the third inning launched the second ball. He frowned with regret, but finally made a pleasant sound at the third at bat.

On this day, he was replaced with 1 hit and 2 RBIs in 3 at bats. He has been in 11 at-bats in 4 games since his first appearance on the 25th (26th), with 9 at bats, 1 hit, 2 RBIs, .111 batting average and OPS.717.
