Seiya Suzuki hit his 11th home run but could not prevent the Chicago Cubs from going down 5-3 Tuesday to the Chicago White Sox.

Suzuki's fourth-inning solo homer tied the game at Wrigley Field 3-3. He worked the count full before launching a hanging splitter into the left-field bleachers.

Luis Robert Jr.'s solo shot in the seventh and an Andrew Benintendi RBI double in the ninth gave Chicago's south siders their margin of victory. Suzuki went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Yusei Kikuchi threw six innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts but did not get a decision in the Toronto Blue Jays' 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Kikuchi remains 9-4 following an 84-pitch effort without a walk at Rogers Centre, where Edmundo Sosa singled to open the sixth for the Phillies and scored on Johan Rojas' no-out double.

George Springer singled in the tying run in the home half for the Blue Jays, before Toronto scored the eighth-inning go-ahead run when a batter was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
