WEST SACRAMENTO -- Asked his thoughts about the Cubs’ impending home opener on Friday at Wrigley Field, outfielder Seiya Suzuki had a question of his own.

“Is Chicago warm yet?” Suzuki asked via interpreter Edwin Stanberry after Wednesday’s 10-2 win over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park.

It isn’t. But Suzuki sure is.

He slugged a pair of home runs, including a three-run blast in the second inning, to power the Cubs to a three-game sweep of the A’s in West Sacramento.

A day after admitting he wanted to be less passive at the plate, Suzuki jumped on a first-pitch fastball from A’s lefty Jeffrey Springs with two men aboard in the second. He crushed it over the left-center-field wall for a 112.9 mph, 401-foot home run.

“I love it when he’s aggressive,” starting pitcher Jameson Taillon said. “He’s got some crazy pop. I love it when he gets a swing off because he can do what he’s doing. He’s an impact bat for us.”

Suzuki has recorded multiple hits in each of his past four games, and all four of his homers in 2025 have come in that span -- including a three-run blast to center on Tuesday and an opposite-field solo shot in the fourth on Wednesday.

Add in a walk and an RBI single, and Suzuki is positively scorching after beginning the season 1-for-14 at the plate. He’s now hitting .275 with a .958 OPS this season.

“He’s a big part of our offense, so getting him off to a good start and getting him confident just bodes well for the rest of the season, for sure,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. “He’s in a good spot.”

Suzuki leads the Major Leagues in strikeouts with 17 so far this season, so his recent surge has been a key development for Chicago. He knows he’s prone to struggles despite being a disciplined hitter -- perhaps too disciplined.

“I think one of my characteristics is when I’m not going well, I’m too selective, so just keeping that approach of staying aggressive,” Suzuki said after the middle game of the three-game set on Tuesday.

Watching teammate Kyle Tucker take at-bats has certainly helped. Tucker’s four-game home run streak ended in an 0-for-3 afternoon with two walks Wednesday, but Suzuki said having Tucker in the lineup has been an asset for his own development.

Now, with both outfielders in a groove, the rest of the Cubs can sit back and watch the show.

“Him and Tucker going at the same time lets everyone else relax at their spots in the lineup,” Taillon said of Suzuki. “They can carry a lineup by themselves, and then you have everyone else doing their job and working counts and getting on base. It’s going to be tough for pitchers. It’s a deep lineup.”

That deep lineup totaled 35 runs in three games in West Sacramento -- tied for the ninth-most runs the Cubs have ever scored in a three-game series, according to STATS.

Much of that damage came against the A’s top starters: Chicago hung six runs (five earned) on Luis Severino in six innings Tuesday before tagging Springs for five runs (four earned) in three innings in the series finale.

“I thought we did a great job,” Counsell said. “Those guys are good starting pitchers, and they both had a great first start. I was very pleased with our offense and our approach this series.”

Counsell was also pleased with Taillon, who navigated a tough second inning and shook off a two-run homer by Brent Rooker in the third to deliver a quality start. The right-hander bounced back from a poor first outing in Arizona to pitch six innings, strike out seven and induce 19 swings and misses against the A’s -- his most whiffs in a game as a Cub.

Taillon’s outing and Suzuki’s offensive efforts set the tone as the Cubs closed out a nine-game trip to Tokyo, Phoenix and West Sacramento with a winning record. After going through Opening Day ceremonies for the Tokyo Series and the D-backs’ and A’s home openers, they’re definitely ready to kick things off at the Friendly Confines on Friday afternoon against the Padres.

“This is our last Opening Day ceremony, and it’s going to be the coolest,” Taillon said. “I’m really excited to get back to Wrigley.”

Even if it’s not warm yet.
