Makoto Suzuki also scored three points to set the situation for the Cubs to counterattack and capture the Reds in five innings to win the series

Seiya Suzuki's bat burst with 116mph muzzle velocity as Luis Mey's 97mph reach ball entered the red zone — an eight-inning three-point shot that crossed the night sky over the left field of Greater America Stadium to put an exclamation point on the Cubs' frantic 11-8 comeback over the Redskins. Suzuki contributed 5 RBIs to 7 RBIs and 7 RBIs in the three games of the series, including two three-point shots, and regained the top spot in the MLS with 49 RBIs, tied with Sidewinders' Eugenio Suarez for the second most 3+ RBIs in a single game this season (7).

"Against pitchers who trust the ball in the card, I have to take advantage of the red shot," Suzuki said after the game. The game-winning shot in the eighth set came from a precise 3-1 ball selection – reacting quickly to a throw-in and then locking on to the outside corner to deliver the fatal blow. Cubs coach Craig Counsell exclaimed: "It was a frightening muzzle speed, a perfect swing." "

The reversal script is familiar: the Cubs erased the four-point deficit twice on Friday and rallied from 3-8 down on Sunday. The first two outs in the seventh inning were on the bases, and Pete Crow-Armstrong's well-timed hits opened the offense; In the eighth inning, Reese McGuire tied the score with a spring cannon (the first double in a single game in her career), paving the way for Suzuki's dramatic outburst. Bullpen pitcher Drew Pomeranz won with a 2K without conceding a score in seven innings, and Daniel Palencia closed the door in nine innings to save for the second time of the season.

Reds starter Nick Lodolo was shot out by nine-bat McGuire in the second inning, but the real collapse began in the seventh inning, when the Cubs scored seven points in a single inning, five of which came from back-to-back hits after the two went out. Although the Reds scored four points in the first game through Ben Brown's escort and explosive throw, they could not withstand the opponent's counterattack. "The ups and downs of form have been a roller coaster," Brown said to himself after conceding eight points in 4.1 innings, "and we have to completely adjust our mentality." "

The series continued the theme of the series: the Reds broke the Cubs in the first inning for three consecutive games (conceded a total of 12 points in the first inning), Crowe Armstrong hit back-to-back key hits, and Suzuki continued to torment the Reds' pitchers. The difference was that the Cubs opened the scoring on Sunday — a lucky hit by Crowe Armstrong in the second inning (the ball brushed off second baseman Matt McClain's glove) scored two points, but the Reds responded with a four-point run in Brown's control of the fan.

When the final whistle blew, cheers from the visitors' lounge mingled with the sighs of the home fans. This three-point cannon not only sealed the series victory, but also sent a declaration to the Central Division of the National League: Chicago's summer is not destined to be peaceful.
