The Chicago Cubs secured multiple victories in recent Major League Baseball games, highlighted by key performances from Seiya Suzuki and Owen Caissie. On August 16, Suzuki delivered a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning to lead the Cubs to a 3-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The following day, Dansby Swanson contributed a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, helping the Cubs edge the Pirates 4-3 in the weekend series finale. On August 18, Suzuki, playing as the designated hitter on his 31st birthday, recorded one hit in three at-bats during a doubleheader game against the Milwaukee Brewers, though the Cubs lost that matchup. The team rebounded on August 19 with a 6-4 victory over the Brewers in the opener of a split doubleheader, powered by Owen Caissie's home run and three RBIs, as well as a home run from Willi Castro. This win marked the Cubs' third victory in four games, signaling an upswing in their recent performance.
