The Cubs' ninth-inning meltdown at Houston on Wednesday night overshadowed an exceedingly rare performance at the plate by Seiya Suzuki.
Suzuki hit a solo homer in the first inning, then a 2-run.
1923, a century ago, was not an especially memorable season for the Cubs.
It was their fifth since they had won a pennant, which they would do it again for 6 more years.
The Cubs finished 83-71,.
