Suzuki then briefly walked away from the plate, as he appeared to be experiencing some discomfort. He was then ruled out for a pitch clock violation, the Cubs&#8217; third out of the game to end the first inning.<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_o5v5qurr7\">\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Seiya Suzuki fouled a pitch off himself, then was called out on a pitch clock violation. pic.twitter.com\/hF3Ry6e2Q2<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) July 22, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_liompxxqn\">Cubs manager Craig Counsell did not seem happy with this decision, and came up onto the field to plead his case to the umpire. Suzuki was seemingly hurt after hitting himself with the foul, and likely should have been given that moment to re-gather himself instead of getting called out.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_kcn7nkcuo\">Fortunately, that missed opportunity doesn&#8217;t appear to have cost the Cubs too much. Through three innings, the Cubs lead the Royals 4-1 thanks to a three-run home run from Matt Shaw and a solo home run from Carson Kelly.<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_xtl9zao7k\">More MLB on Sports Illustrated<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That looked painful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":70345,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cubs&#039;
