WATCH: Baez hits go-ahead HR against Giants

---

Cubs utility infielder hit a clutch solo home in the eighth inning against the Giants to put the Cubs up 1-0.

The ball was hit 107.4 MPH off the bat and went a projected 381 feet in a strong cross wind. With no wind, that homer would have probably went out of the stadium.

Baez got a standing ovation from the home fans at Wrigley Field.
