Javy Baez just gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead with a ROCKET homer in the mild rain.
He did not get cheated on the swing:

Baez was clearly hunting for a first-pitch get-me-over breaking ball, because that’s all that was. If that’s what Javy was guessing, you may as well have just put that baby on a tee.
The shot was number 29 on the year for Baez, and got out at 110.7 mph. It traveled 417 happy feet.
And then the Cubs celebrated:
