The wind was blowing in at Wrigley Field yet again Thursday evening, as it has seemingly for pretty much every home game this year.
That didn’t matter to Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki, who both launched baseballs into the bleachers. Suzuki’s homer wound up the difference in a 3-2 Cubs win over the Pirates to open a 10-game homestand.
The game was all pitching for the first three innings.
