Seiya Suzuki’s single in the 10th inning scored automatic runner Ian Happ after Toronto tied the game with three runs in the ninth as the Chicago Cubs beat the visiting Blue Jays 6-5 on Friday afternoon.

With Happ on second, Michael Busch walked to start the 10th before Suzuki lined a single against Chad Green (3-3) into left field to help Chicago snap a three-game losing streak.

The Cubs led 5-2 in the ninth before Toronto loaded the bases with one out against Hector Neris. After a run scored when Neris was called for a balk, Leo Jimenez struck out before George Springer tied the game with a two-run triple.

Tyson Miller (4-1) pitched a scoreless 10th inning for the win.

Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits over five innings. He fanned two without allowing a walk.

Bellinger gave Chicago a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a two-run homer to right field against Toronto starter Yariel Rodriguez. The 404-foot blast was Bellinger’s 13th homer this season.

The Blue Jays pushed a run across with two outs in the fourth inning when Spencer Horwitz scored from third on Ernie Clement’s infield single. Toronto capitalized on two errors to score the run but stranded runners at second and third when Joey Loperfido grounded out.
