NELSON VELAZQUEZ GRAND SLAM

Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs were down 7-0 just a little while ago. They now lead 8-7.

The capper to that comeback (it’s only the third inning, so don’t count any chickens) was Nelson Velazquez, only recently called up to help pitch in, getting a bases-loaded chance and not missing it.

Grand. Slam. Whoa Nelly:
