Jon Lester finally hit a home run in this game, and the Cubs blew out the D-backs to improve to 57-48. They led the N.L. Central by 2½ games.
It had happened once before, but in a spring-training game that wasn’t televised, so only those of us attending the game actually witnessed it.
But it came close to happening a few other times, and one day, we all knew it would happen for real.
“It” refers to a home run hit by Jon Lester, and Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, it did indeed happen [VIDEO].
