Javier Baez

October 13, 2015
Javier Baez hits a big 3-run HR off John Lackey in a 4-run 2nd inning.   Jason Hammell lasted only 3 innings pitching, but his single with 2 outs in front of Baez's home run was a very big hit.  Cubs show off their depth as Baez (not a regular starter in 2015)  is starting due to an injury to regular shortstop, Addison Russell.

7 Cubs relievers hold the Cardinals to just 2 runs over 6 innings.   Anthony Rizzo homers & Kyle Schwarber's home run ends up on top of the right field scoreboard and has been called the "Schwarbomb".
