Talk about busting out of a slump.
The Cubs entered Friday night's game against the White Sox on a three-game losing streak in which they scored a total of three runs against the Pirates. They've been struggling all season long facing fastballs, but that wasn't a problem on the south side in game one of the weekend series.
The first three were off Dylan Cease, as Kyle Schwarber, Willson Contreras and Javier Baez crushed his 97mph+ fastball for home runs.
Then, Victor Caratini joined the home run party in the sixth, hitting the team's fourth long ball of the night and third opposite-field homer.
