Happ put the Cubs up 1-0 on the Pittsburgh Pirates with a dinger off Mitch Keller, which marked Happ's third dinger of the year. The long ball carried 405 feet out to center field. A double and dinger for @ihapp_1 after two at-bats!@BinnysBev pic.twitter.com/YSMHuruhWX #Pirates 0 @ #Cubs 1 [B3-1o]:
