Seiya Suzuki Dropped a Grand Slam Bomb, And the Rockies Were Toast

HOLY MOLY, did you catch what went down in Denver yesterday? The Chicago Cubs just absolutely stomped the Colorado Rockies, dropping a 9-3 bomb on them! It was one of those games where everything clicked for one side, and the other just couldn't catch a break. Seriously, if you blinked, you missed a Cubbie mashing a ball outta the park.

Cubs Offense Went Nuclear

Okay, so let's talk about the star of the show, Seiya Suzuki. This dude absolutely crushed it, slamming a grand slam that totally blew the game open for Chicago. It was his third career grand slam, and his first since way back on September 26, 2025, against St. Louis. That thing came in the fourth inning against Rockies starter Ryan Feltner, after Pete Crow-Armstrong singled and stole second, Michael Busch hit a single, and Ian Happ walked. Just like that, boom, four runs on the board and the Cubs were up 4-1.

But wait, there's more! Alex Bregman got in on the fun with a two-run homer in the seventh, and Carson Kelly added a solo shot in the eighth. Pete Crow-Armstrong wasn't just stealing bases, he had two hits himself. Michael Busch also grabbed two hits, and his single in the fifth drove in Dansby Swanson, who'd led off with a walk. Happ wasn't done either, hitting a sacrifice fly to make it a four-run game. Even with their manager Craig Counsell getting tossed in the sixth after arguing a Ballesteros double-play grounder should have been a foul ball, the Cubs' bats just kept coming.

Rockies Fought, But Pitching Collapsed

You gotta give it to the Rockies, they tried to claw their way back, especially Brett Sullivan. That guy had himself a day, hitting two solo homers, his first multi-homer game ever! He even singled! Cole Carrigg joined the party with his first career home run in the fourth, a solo shot that got one back for Colorado, and he singled too. Troy Johnston smacked three hits and Willi Castro had two singles. They definitely showed some fight.

But man, their pitching was just rough. Ryan Feltner, the starter, got absolutely rocked for six runs on four hits through just 4 1/3 innings. Edward Cabrera, pitching for the Cubs, had a solid outing, giving up two runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings before getting chased in the sixth. The Rockies even loaded the bases in that sixth inning after chasing Cabrera, but Kyle Karros flew out and Phil Maton came in to strike out Ezequiel Tovar, shutting down the threat. It felt like every time Colorado tried to get something going, Chicago just slammed the door, or hit another bomb.

So, while the Cubs were busy crushing baseballs, our own Mariners were battling it out on the road. It was a tough one, as our guys fell to the Baltimore Orioles 7-5. It's still early in the season, and these are the kind of games where you see what your team is made of. Let's keep that Emerald City energy high for our boys. We know they've got that fight in them, and we'll be right there with them, every single pitch!
