I TOLD YOU IT WAS THE MUSTACHE! Oh, and also the baseball ability thing.
Joc Pederson just went deep for the second time tonight, tying the game at three, thank goodness:
Another home run for @yungjoc650, who clearly saw everyone disrespecting his mustache on here earlier.#CubTogether pic.twitter.com/9UXBUFMdmU

Despite his dreadful start with the Cubs, Pederson is now up to a .263/.341/.421 line, good for a 110 wRC+. That’s 10% better than league average.
