WATCH: Cubs' bullpen plays duck, duck, goose after Rizzo hits two-run blast |
CHICAGO — Back in the cleanup spot on Wednesday after leading off for several weeks, Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo slugged a two-run home run to break a scoreless drought for the Cubs against the Milwaukee Brewers. Having been shut out three straight times by the Brewers, the Cubs took a 2-0 lead to end that stretch.

Scoring third baseman David Bote, who kept the inning alive with a single in the previous at-bat, Rizzo lined an opposite-field shot just over the wall in left field. #Brewers 0 @ #Cubs 2 [B1-2o] Celebrating the dinger in hilarious fashion, the Cubs' relief-pitching staff played a quick game of duck, duck, goose in the bullpen to mark perhaps their most creative homer celebration to date. bear...bear...CUB! pic.twitter.com/b7tl8UIyea
