That home run led off the game for the Cubs – his third leadoff homer of the spring – and was the second time this spring that Happ has hit a leadoff homer off of Madison Bumgarner. That’ll be something to tell the kids about.

Russell crushed that one, also off of Bumgarner. That lawn is packed by the way!
