By Sean Facey
Now that's how you start off on the right foot! On the third pitch of the first inning, Kyle Schwarber blasted a leadoff home run deep to right field to give the Chicago Cubs an early 1-0 lead over the Atlanta Braves.

That's definitely not the best way for Braves starter Bryse Wilson to kick off his first appearance since late April.
It was Schwarber's 17th blast of the year. He's had great success at the leadoff spot this year, giving the Cubs the spark they need atop the order.
