HOUSTON — Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki steered the conversation Tuesday away from his home run last weekend in Minnesota. The hit was a sign of what he has been doing well lately — finding his timing, cutting down on ground balls — but that wasn’t what was important to him.
‘‘All the games previous to that, I feel like there could have been more games where we could have won,’’ he told the Sun-Times through an interpreter. ‘‘And I feel kind of liable because it’s my job to get those runs in as I slot into that No. 4 position [in the lineup].’’
