WATCH: Zobrist smacks solo shot for his fifth homer |
CINCINNATI — With the second solo home run of the day for the Chicago Cubs, second baseman Ben Zobrist lofted a dinger to right-center to cut the Cubs' deficit to six runs.
Marking Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani's second long ball allowed on the afternoon, the shot by Zobrist, which made the score 8-2, served as his first home run since May and his fifth of the year. Oh shit, the comeback starts now #Cubs pic.twitter.com/xuEWIOOfAm The round-tripper, which came after Cubs catcher Willson Contreras hit a solo homer to a similar spot earlier in the ballgame, sailed 378 feet at a velocity of 103 miles per hour.
