The Chicago Cubs hit five home runs, including two by Seiya Suzuki, and went on to a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday afternoon. The Cubs, playing before a sold-out crowd of 41,334 in Detroit that appeared to be at least one-third Chicago fans, also got home runs from Michael Busch, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matt Shaw.

Suzuki gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead with a first-inning homer off Tigers opener Tyler Holton (2-3). Busch increased the margin to 3-0 with a long homer to right in the fifth, but Detroit got a run back in the bottom of the inning. Zach McKinstry led off with his fifth triple of the season — third in the majors behind Corbin Carroll and Jarren Duran. Jake Rogers followed with a grounder to third, and McKinstry beat Shaw's throw to the plate. Crow-Armstrong, playing in his 200th game, added a solo homer in the seventh and Shaw did the same later in the inning. Suzuki increased the lead to 6-1 with a homer off Chase Lee in the eighth.
