WATCH: Happ crushes 433 feet pinch-hit homer off scoreboard |
The Chicago Cubs got steamrolled 10-1 against the Cleveland Indians at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night.
One of the only bright spots of the game for the Cubs was a mammoth pinch-hit homer by Ian Happ to break up the shutout that went an estimated 433 feet with 107.6 MPH exit velocity. Happ was the first Cubs to hit a pinch-hit homer when trailing by 10 in the ninth inning since Manny Trillo vs. MTL back in 1987. He also has both of the Cubs pinch-hit homers this season. The kid is starting to rake for the North Siders as it was his 8th homer and 17 RBI of the season including three homers in his last four games. In his last five games, he has six extra-base hits and nine walks. Check out the homer below: Ian Happ's pinch-hit homer gets us within nine runs in the 9th.
