Tucker went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the A's.
Another day, another home run for Tucker. This time he took Luis Severino deep for a solo shot in the third inning. It was his fourth consecutive game leaving the yard. The 28-year-old superstar is 12-for-39 (.353) with four homers, five doubles, 11 RBI, and a stolen base through eight contests.
A throwing error and a walk put two runners on for Seiya Suzuki, who took Severino deep for a three-run shot to continue the Cubs offensive barrage early in this one. After a clean second inning, the Cubs brought two more runs in to score in the third, including a solo shot by Kyle Tucker. After letting up a sixth run in the fourth, Severino gave the Athletics two more frames to save the bullpen. The 31-year-old right-hander will look to bounce back when he takes on the Padres in Sacramento on Monday.
Tucker went 4-for-7 with a home run, two doubles, four total runs and three total RBI in Monday's 18-3 win over the Athletics.
Tucker is already up to three homers, and this one came off Johnny Pereda in the ninth inning. Yes, that's a position player, and yes it still counts. Tucker is off to a roaring start with the Cubs with a slash of .300/.423/.742 over Chicago's first seven games. That'll play.
