Seiya Suzuki reaches base twice in season debut Friday

Seiya Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a walk in his season debut on Friday as the Cubs suffered a 2-0 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact:

Suzuki singled in the fourth off of Pirates' starter, Carmen Mlodzinski, then drew a walk in the eighth against Gregory Soto. Suzuki missed the Cubs' first 12 games of the season after suffering a right knee sprain while playing for Japan in the World Baseball Classic. He went 6-for-14 with five runs scored and two doubles at Double-A Knoxville during his rehab assignment. Suzuki posted career-highs in both home runs (32) and RBI (103) last season and should produce decent numbers in the middle of the Cubs' lineup again this year.
