Seiya Suzuki has picked a fine time to start flexing his muscles again.

Suzuki followed up a seven-week homerless drought by going deep five times over the Chicago Cubs' final four games of the regular season.

He will look to continue his recent torrid run on Tuesday afternoon as the fourth-seeded Cubs host the fifth-seeded San Diego Padres in Game 1 of their best-of-three National League wild-card series.
