WATCH: Almora crushes two-run bomb off of Kershaw

---

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. was inserted in the starting lineup for tonight's game against Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It was a brilliant move by Joe Maddon as Almora unloaded on a two-run homer off of Kershaw to put the Cubs up 2-0 in the fourth inning.

The homer traveled an estimated 412 feet and had an exit velocity of 106 MPH.

Check out the homer below.
