Cubs Launch Five Home Runs to Beat Tigers 6-1 in Series-Equalizing Victory

The Chicago Cubs showcased their power hitting by launching five home runs in a 6-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, evening their three-game series. Seiya Suzuki led the Cubs with two home runs, supported by solo shots from Michael Busch, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Matt Shaw. Cubs starter Jameson Taillon delivered a strong pitching performance, allowing only one run on three hits over seven innings, effectively controlling the Tigers' offense. The Cubs, known for their speed and defense, demonstrated their offensive versatility by matching their season high in home runs, contributing to their 40-24 record. Despite the Tigers' strategic pitching, including using lefty Tyler Holton to face left-handed batters, the Cubs capitalized on mistakes and power hitting to dominate the game. The series concludes on Sunday with a pitching matchup between Jack Flaherty of the Tigers and Cade Horton of the Cubs.
