The Chicago Cubs have swept the Cincinnati Reds in a four game series at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have been consistently dominant at home as of late, currently sitting atop a 15-game home win streak. Throughout this four game series, the Cubs found different ways to win, and it's left fans abuzz with a hype that feels electric.

Though the Cubs have remained under pressure, whether it's been internal injury struggles or external division and standing pressure, this team has been going through it. Yet despite setback after setback, the Cubs have done what needed to be done, and survived in a plethora of different strenuous environments.

Suzuki kept delivering in the biggest moments

Seiya Suzuki contributed in a real way throughout this series, and his timing was impeccable. Though you can make a case for Michael Busch, Michael Conforto, or even Ian Happ, Suzuki was the clear MVP of this series. He hit a three run home run to tie up the score that arguably turned a corner in the entire series.

Situational hitting was Suzuki's strong suit this series, having two separate moments where he altered the course of the game. He hit an RBI double in a game that eventually led to extra innings. Without Suzuki's intervention, the Cubs wouldn't have made it that far, and we wouldn't be discussing a 15-game win streak.

Even outside of Suzuki’s production, this series showcased exactly why the Cubs have become so difficult to beat at Wrigley Field lately. Pete Crow-Armstrong continued finding ways to pressure defenses, Nico Hoerner consistently reached base, and Michael Busch came through with several timely hits of his own. On the mound, the Cubs received quality outings throughout the series while the bullpen repeatedly handled late inning pressure situations.

The Cubs did not sweep the Reds because of one dominant performance. They swept them because nearly every part of the roster contributed when it mattered most.
