CHICAGO (AP) — Seiya Suzuki hit a game-ending single off Mason Miller in the ninth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Monday night.
Dansby Swanson and Pete Crow-Armstrong began the ninth with a pair of singles off Jason Adam (2-2). Miller then came in and surrendered Alex Bregman’s single to center, loading the bases.
Michael Busch followed with a flyball to left, and Jase Bowen cut down Swanson when he attempted to score on the play. Suzuki then hit a deep flyball, sending Bowen all the way back to the ivy-covered wall. Bowen tried to make a leaping catch, but was unable to haul it in.
It was Suzuki’s second career game-ending hit and Chicago’s major league-leading 10th walk-off win this season.
