Five home runs vault Cubs past Tigers 6-1

The Chicago Cubs hit five home runs, including two by Seiya Suzuki, and went on to a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

The Cubs, playing before a sold-out crowd of 41,334 in Detroit that appeared to be at least one-third Chicago fans, also got home runs from Michael Busch, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matt Shaw. They improved to 40-24 while the Tigers fell to 42-24.

Jameson Taillon (6-3) allowed one run on three hits and a walk in seven innings. He is 4-0 with a 1.68 ERA in his past four starts.

Crow-Armstrong played in his 200th career game of his young career. He has 27 homers, 102 RBIs and 50 stolen bases in his 200 games, making him the third player to reach 25/100/50 that early in his career. Mike Trout had 37/110/56 in his first 200 games, and Mitchell Page put up 27/103/52.
