The 27-year-old was just called up to Chicago on Tuesday in a series of roster moves. In his first big league plate appearance of the season, he turned on a 94 mph inside fastball, in an 0-2 count, off of Philadelphia Phillies ace Aaron Nola to get the Cubs on the board. The home run travelled 425 feet, meaning it would乌鸦传媒檝e been a home run in every Major League ballpark, and came off the bat at 109.4 mph.
