Suarez's Homers Lead Diamondbacks to Victory

Eugenio Suarez powered the Arizona Diamondbacks to a notable 8-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs with two two-run homers, contributing to his total of three home runs in the first two games of the season, tying a franchise record. Merrill Kelly secured the win with 5 1/3 innings, allowing only one run while Pavin Smith and Alek Thomas bolstered the offense with three hits each. The Cubs' Jameson Taillon struggled, giving up six runs, including Suarez's homers, over 4 1/3 innings. Despite errors, Arizona's pitching, including a strong return from Shelby Miller, maintained control. The Diamondbacks aim to continue their momentum with Brandon Pfaadt set to pitch in the next game against the Cubs.
