Seiya Suzuki was left off the NL All-Star roster.
And then he showed why that might not have been the best call.
The Cubs’ designated hitter bashed his team-leading 25th home run of the season, the loudest hit in a runaway 11-0 win over the rival Cardinals on Sunday night.
Suzuki added an RBI double in the rout, backing up the legions of Cubs fans who took to social media to voice frustration over his exclusion from the Midsummer Classic.
Indeed, Suzuki had an excellent case to make the All-Star team, even before adding to his league-leading RBI total Sunday.
