Javy Baez Gives the Cubs an Early Lead with His Third Home Run of the Season
For as much as the rest of the Cubs offense is scuffling, Javy Baez has actually had a fine offensive start to the season.
Earlier today, he launched his third home run of the season, to deep right-center field, bringing his season slash line up to .267/.313/.567 (138 wRC+).

That homer traveled 410 feet, left the bat at 104 MPH, and gave the Cubs an early 1-0 lead in the rubber match.
