PITTSBURGH — Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki recognized the two-strike changeup early and sat back, driving it the other way for an RBI double in the fifth inning Sunday.
‘‘Just wanted to make sure I didn’t strike out in that situation,’’ Suzuki said through an interpreter after the Cubs’ 10-1 rout of the Pirates. ‘‘It was a changeup that kind of hung. I’m glad I was able to get some good barrel on it.’’
