The Chicago Cubs are without a doubt the hottest team in Major League Baseball right now, and they look to continue their stretch of dominance at the expense of the Cincinnati Reds. On Wednesday night, Albert Almora Jr. extended the Cubs' 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning with a deep solo homerun into the left field stands.

You knew as soon as Almora made contact that baseball was gone, but luckily for the Reds, there was no one on base at the time.
