Cubs 9, Rockies 3: Suzuki Grand Slam Snaps Skid

The lead

June 11, 2026 - Denver - Seiya Suzuki hit his third career grand slam, Alex Bregman added a two-run homer, and the Chicago Cubs snapped a three-game skid with a 9-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.

Chicago finished second on the Thursday slate at 18 team FP in AthX Engine scoring.

How the game turned

Rockies starter Ryan Feltner retired the first nine batters before Pete Crow-Armstrong singled to open the fourth. The Cubs loaded the bases, and Suzuki lined a sinker down the left-field line for his 10th homer of the season and first slam since last September.

Chicago added two more runs in the fifth, Bregman hit his sixth homer in the seventh, and Carson Kelly capped the scoring with a solo shot in the eighth. Brett Sullivan homered twice for Colorado, including his first career multi-homer game, but the Rockies could not keep pace.

Pitching and matchup notes

Edward Cabrera (4-3) allowed five hits and two earned runs over 5⅔ innings with five strikeouts. Cabrera finished with 7.33 pitching FP in AthX Engine scoring while the offense supplied the margin.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell was ejected in the sixth after arguing a double-play grounder that appeared to hit off a shin guard should have been ruled foul.

Bats that changed the board

Bregman and Suzuki each finished with 8 hitting FP in AthX Engine scoring, with Crow-Armstrong at 7 FP. The Cubs' 9-run total was their highest since May 27.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

AthX Engine graded Chicago at 18 team FP in a road win built on a grand slam and starter stability at Coors Field. Offensive explosions after a scoring drought register quickly on the daily team board, separate from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

The Cubs open a series at San Francisco on Friday, per the MLB schedule.
