Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber had himself a tremendous day at the plate with two homers in the team's 10-3 win on Tuesday night over the Cleveland Indians.

His first homer was a rocket shot that went 389 feet and it had an exit velocity of 117.1 MPH which is the fastest ever recorded by a Cubs player by Statcast since it began tracking in 2015. In the fourth inning, Schwarber skied a moonshot over the wall in right field for his sixth homer of the season. The shot gave him seven career homers as a DH which is the Cubs' all-time leader in that category.

Schwarber spoke about his impressive night at the plate at Progressive Field.

"I always thought this was a good park to hit in," Schwarber said. "It's been a good start so far. Always trying to get better. Had a guy on third with less than two outs and didn't get him in. That's a free RBI there. And I want to pick those up."

In the last five games, the Cubs have scored 45 runs on 66 hits.
