The resolution is very much in doubt given the uncertainty about the Cubs’ bullpen right now, but the Cubs took a 6th inning lead just now on a MASSIVE Willson Contreras two-run homer.
Funny enough (is “funny” the right word?) the shot came just after Contreras was unable to get a bunt down:

Holy crap that was a bomb. Absolutely destroyed:

More of that from Contreras this year would be a very welcomed thing after his power slump in the second half last year.
