The bats came to party on Tuesday at Wrigley Field

12 runs. 14 hits. Three straight wins and a series sweep on deck tomorrow at Wrigley.

The Cubs' offense exploded Tuesday evening, crushing four home runs and plating 12 against the Rockies. They moved north of .500 on the season with their third straight victory.

Seiya Suzuki started the fun with a first-inning laser into the bleachers off of Rockies starter Kyle Freeland that scored Nico Hoerner to give the Cubs an early 2-0 lead.

The offense was just getting started. Garrett Cooper, Christopher Morel, and Cody Bellinger joined Suzuki in the home run column throughout the game as the Cubs cruised past the Rockies.

Javier Assad pitched six innings and allowed no runs on four hits, striking out five and walking one Colorado hitter.
