WATCH: Happ channels his inner Schwarber gunning down runner

---

The Cubs gave up the lead 4-3 in the fifth inning of Tuesday's loss against the Pirates.

However, it could have been worse without an absolute rocket throw by left fielder Ian Happ. He threw a quick strike to Willson Contreras that beat out baserunner David Freese by several feet.

On the play, the throw distance was 250 feet, and according to the metrics, Happ had an arm strength of 87.1 MPH.
