▼ + stars: | 2023-09-27 | by ( Field Level Media | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

The Cubs squandered a six-run lead and lost 7-6 when right fielder Seiya Suzuki whiffed on a fly ball in the eighth inning. He hit a two-run triple in the loss and is hitting .364 (51-for-140) over his past 37 games. Taillon has not faced the Braves this season. Atlanta is six homers short of tying the major league record set by the 2019 Minnesota Twins. That leaves him one short of matching the modern-era franchise record (since 1900) set by Eddie Mathews in 1953.
