VIDEO: Albert Almora Jr. Swats Cubs Into the Lead With Clutch Solo Homer in Extra Innings
By Sam Dunn
Nice of you to show up, Albert! Staring down a 2-2 deadlock in the 10th inning on the road at Miller Park, Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. delivered when it mattered most. He sent a Freddy Peralta fastball booming 420 feet into the seats, vaulting the North Siders ahead of the hometown Brewers.
Did we just watch a game-winning home run? It won't take long to find out-- though sussing out just who's boss in the rough-and-tumble NL Central is going to take some real time. It's not over 'til it's over when this division's rivals go at it.
For now, chalk one up for the Cubbies.
