Oh, the Bears won tonight?
Well JAVY BAEZ JUST HIT HIS 32ND HOMER OF THE SEASON off Patrick freakin’ Corbin in the middle of a playoff race to put his team up by 3! He also added his 104th and 105th RBI in the process.

That homer was a no-doubter right off the bat, and the Statcast data backs that up: 103 MPH, 420 feet. That is an absolute blast and even more impressive that it came off Corbin, who’s been absolutely brutal on righties all season (.249 wOBA).
Also … Javy totally knew he got all of that one.

Now let’s see if the Cubs can hold the lead.
