Seiya Suzuki scored the only point in the Chicago Cubs’ 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, thanks to a complete play from Marcus Stroman.
The right-hander was nearly perfect against the best team in the major league, hitting eight times, with one hit, one walk and one hitter.

He led a game without stakes until the seventh inning at Wrigley Field before Tampa Bay shortstop Wander Franco got the ball rolling with a single.
The Cubs’ lone run came in the fourth inning when Suzuki scored on a sacrifice fly from Mike Tauchman.
The Japanese outfielder reached base with his first hit in three games, a ground single, went to second on a pitching error and third on a steal out.
“This (single) would normally have been a third-row takedown, so I’m not very happy,” said Suzuki, who praised Stroman for his outstanding performance. “Stroman really gave it his all today. I would have liked to make things a little easier for him, but I’m really happy that we won”.
Suzuki finished 1-3 and the Cubs (23-30) ended a four-game streak.
