Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 12-2 win over the Pirates.

Suzuki and Alex Bregman combined for six of Chicago's 16 hits to lead the team to a comfortable victory. The slugging outfielder came into the contest mired in a bit of a slump. as he started September going just 3-for-30 across his first nine games. Suzuki quickly doubled that hit total Friday, and he should remain an offensive engine for the Cubs as they head toward the postseason.
