Baseball: Cubs' Suzuki continues to come through in clutch
CHICAGO (Kyodo) -- Chicago Cubs designated hitter Seiya Suzuki opened the scoring with a first-inning double in a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, their fourth straight victory. Suzuki picked up his major league-leading 51st RBI of the season before teammate Pete Crow-Armstrong homered to make it 2-0 in the fourth at Wrigley Field, driving in his 50th run. The former Hiroshima Carp star has extended his hitting streak to nine games. He now has 26 RBIs in May. Among other Japanese players, Los Angeles Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (1-5) allowed one run in five innings of work in a 1-0 loss to the New York Yankees. Shohei Ohtani went hitless in three at-bats with a walk and a strikeout in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 7-4 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.

Crow-Armstrong homers and Boyd pitches Cubs to 2-1 win over Rockies
CHICAGO — Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 15th home run, Matthew Boyd tossed six innings of four-hit ball and the Chicago Cubs edged the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Wednesday night for their fourth straight win. Seiya Suzuki doubled in a run and rookie Matt Shaw had two hits for the NL Central leaders, who have won 10 of 12. Boyd (5-2) allowed just an unearned run while striking out eight and walking none. Three relievers followed, with Daniel Palencia pitching a perfect ninth for his fourth save. Tyler Freeman had a sacrifice fly for the Rockies, who lost their fifth straight and fell to 9-47 — the worst record in the majors. Orlando Arcia, who signed with Colorado earlier in the day, singled in his first two at-bats with his new team. Arcia was released by Atlanta on Sunday after batting .194 in 14 games with the Braves. Tanner Gordon (1-2) permitted two runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings for the Rockies. Boyd retired 13 of his first 14 batters. Arcia singled leading off the third. Chicago jumped ahead 1-0 in the first on Suzuki's double to the left-center wall. Crow-Armstrong made it 2-0 in the fourth when he golfed a low curveball down the right-field line. Boyd got through a shaky sixth and exited ahead 2-1. Chicago led 2-0 when Mickey Moniak led off with a single. Jordan Beck followed with a drive to left that Ian Happ caught at the wall. Moniak advanced to third on Boyd's wild pickoff attempt and scored on Freeman's sac fly, caught by Crow-Armstrong against the center-field wall. Shaw is 13 for 34 (.382) since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa on May 20. Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (0-7, 5.86 ERA) faces Mets LHP David Peterson (3-2, 2.79) on Friday in New York. The Cubs host Cincinnati on Friday. Neither team had announced a scheduled starter. ___ AP MLB:
