The World’s Greatest Cleanup Hitter, Anthony Rizzo, Goes Deep for the 18th Time (VIDEO)!
Before the start of today’s game, the Chicago Cubs had been shutout by the Milwaukee Brewers for three straight games – that’s 27 freakin’ innings of no runs scored.
But the world’s greatest cleanup hitter, Anthony Rizzo, ended that streak with one swing of the bat. Check it out:

That was Rizzo’s 18th homer of the season and while it may have only just barely gotten out (368 feet), it left in a hurry (102 MPH) and counts all the same. The Cubs are off to a good start, now let’s see if Kyle Hendricks can hold the lead.
Some people say he’s the greatest cleanup hitter of all time. pic.twitter.com/yCUnxp8tos
