Seiya Suzuki and Shota Imanaga made history on Saturday during the Chicago Cubs' 14–2 win over the Miami Marlins.

Imanaga took home the win after pitching seven innings while allowing two runs on four hits. Meanwhile, Suzuki went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a triple, and four RBIs. In the process, they became the first Japanese duo to combine for a unique feat. The Cubs are now the first team in MLB history to have a Japanese-born player record three or more extra base hits and another Japanese-born player earn a win in the same game.
