MILWAUKEE (AP) — Seiya Suzuki has wasted no time getting back into the swing of things since coming off the injured list.

Suzuki homered for the second straight night and had three RBIs as the Chicago Cubs overcame Kyle Hendricks’ early exit to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3 on Tuesday.

Suzuki ripped a pitch well off the inside corner for a tiebreaking, two-run shot in the fifth inning. That came one night after he hit an inside-the-park homer in the ninth to give Chicago a 2-1 lead, though the Cubs lost 5-2 in 10 innings. The team activated Suzuki from the injured list Monday after a sprained left ring finger caused him to miss about five weeks.

“He looks really comfortable,” Cubs manager David Ross said. “The timing’s back, to me. I think Seiya’s looked as good as he started.”

The Cubs needed power from Suzuki.

Seiya Suzuki Just Hit a 9th Inning, Inside-the-Park Home Run in a Tie Game Off of Josh Hader (Holy Crap)

I did not have words. I was floating above the ground trying to even describe what just happened. I lost my mind. I screamed. My family thought I was going crazy. I guess I was for a minute.

Seiya Suzuki, in the 9th inning of a tie game, in his first game back from the Injured List, facing JOSH HADER, just sent a rocket off the left center wall. It bounced far to the right, and Suzuki JUST. KEPT. RUNNING.
