Cardinals set records while jumping out early

CHICAGO -- The Cardinals did not waste any time showing they're not ready for their season to end. Two batters into Tuesday's Game 4 of the National League Division Series vs. the Cubs, rookie Stephen Piscotty hit a two-run home run.

Cubs starter Jason Hammel began by allowing a leadoff single to Matt Carpenter. The next batter was Piscotty, who jumped on a first-pitch fastball and drove a homer to center field. According to Statcast™, it came off the bat at 109 mph and landed a projected 407 feet away.
