The Cubs had been having great at bats all night, but through five innings, all they had to show for it was an RBI single by Jason Heyward.
Then, in the sixth inning, the fruits finally game. A sac fly by Willson Contreras, a two-out RBI single by Ian Happ, and then it was Heyward again, this time with a three-run shot:

That was not a bad curveball, and was just one that Heyward really stayed on. Good place to put one, too, because at 359 feet, it wouldn’t have gone out if it wasn’t pulled quite as much.
