Japanese rookie sensation Seiya Suzuki walked twice and homered as the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 6-4 on Sunday to earn a split of a four-game series.

Suzuki stretched the Cubs' lead to 6-3 with a solo shot off Ashton Goudeau to right in the seventh before a crowd of 36,391 at Coors Field, making it four homers in the first nine games of his MLB career.

The 27-year-old Tokyo native is batting .400 and has hit safely in eight straight games.
