VIDEO: Albert Almora Jr. and Kyle Schwarber Extend Cubs Lead With Back-to-Back Jacks

The Chicago Cubs want this series sweep badly. During Sunday's game between the Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates, Albert Almora and Kyle Schwarber launched back-to-back shots off of Trevor Williams to put the Cubs up 7-3.

This was Almora's ninth homer of the year, and Schwarber's 18th. The Cubs are finally starting to play like a playoff contender, as they've scored 22 runs in just three games since the All-Star break. This offensive explosion is exactly what Joe Maddon and Co. have needed to get back into the swing of things, as it appears that they're ready to dominate the NL Central.
