0:00It's April 28th. This is MLB News Today, powered by AI, you're around the Diamond Update. Sayas Suzuki brought his comedy game Strong Monday in San Diego, mimicking teammate swings during pre-game batting practice before the Cubs fell 9 to 7 against the Padres. He nailed rookie Moisei's ballasteros' big lefty leg kick with hands up high right after ballasteros crushed his first major league Grand Slam in the game. Suzuki even homerid himself as the Cubs grabbed an early 5-3 lead. Suzuki kept the labs going by roasting shortstop Danzby Swanson's signature stance, leaning back with the bat on his shoulder before digging in. He perfectly copied Swanson falling toward the plate on a miss and that wide-legged walk back to the dugout. All this had the clubhouse in stitches pre-game. The team mates aided up, smiling big as vibes stayed high, despite the loss. This ain't new for Suzuki. He did spot on impressions of Ian Hap last year and shadowed ballasteros earlier this

1:03season too. It's all in good fun, keeping spirits lifted. The Cubs sit at 17 wins and 12 losses, shaking off three straight road defeats after a 10 game winning streak. Suzuki's scorching hot, hitting 3-17 slash 4-19 slash 5-71 with 5 homers, picking up from his career, year in 20, 25. With antics like these and bats clicking, Chicago's got that momentum brewing as they head home.
