Left fielder Ian Happ stopped and stared as he drifted towards his right as his ball traveled in the air.
He didn’t crush the ball, but with how the wind has acted at Wrigley Field the past couple of days, who knew if the ball would leave the field?
But the Cubs finally got the bases-clearing home run that has eluded them during their offensive drought after Happ’s three-run shot to left-center field, his seventh of the season, in Saturday’s 5-1 win vs. the Cardinals.
The Cubs put together their best offensive performance on Saturday.
