VIDEO: Albert Almora Creams Home Run to Dead Center to Extend Cubs' Lead Over Pirates
By Thomas Carannante
The Chicago Cubs came into Thursday needing a win on the fourth of July, and they're off to a great start. Kris Bryant belted a first-inning opposite-field solo home run and then Albert Almora got in on the action in the top of the second with a solo blast of his own.

Dead center. Goodbye. 2-0 Cubbies.
Joe Maddon's crew has their backs up against the wall at the moment. They've lost four straight, including three to the Pirates to drop another series.
