Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo both teased us with deep fly balls, but Willson Contreras got it done.
The first hit of tonight’s game – for either side – was a no doubter off the bat of the Cubs catcher:
10th home run of the year for @WContreras40! #CubTogether

That homer, Contreras’ 10th of the year, was 108.5 MPH off the bat. And it brought his season slash lineup to .247/.344/.440 (117 wRC+). He is having another very good year.
