Ian Happ Powers Cubs with Two Homers Against Mariners

Ian Happ has been a significant offensive force for the Chicago Cubs, particularly highlighted by his recent performances against the Seattle Mariners. He hit two home runs in a 10-7 victory, including back-to-back leadoff homers, becoming the first Cubs player since Anthony Rizzo in 2017 to achieve this feat. Happ has shown a surge in power with eight home runs over his last 15 games and a slugging percentage of .600 in June, helping to spark the Cubs' offense on a day when windy conditions significantly impacted gameplay. His multi-homer games and consistent production have solidified his role beyond a table setter to a key run producer. Additionally, Seiya Suzuki contributed to the Cubs' success with a crucial three-run homer in a prior game, helping maintain the team's momentum. These performances underscore the Cubs' offensive depth as they continue their season.
