The Cubs aren’t hitting many homers yet, Dansby Swanson models how they’re still finding ways to score.
Cody Bellinger got his first hit as a Cub in grand fashion, a 3 run homer in the first inning at Great American Ballpark. Unfortunately for the Cubs, the Reds offense waited no time to retaliate, tying the game in the 1st before taking the lead and not looking back.
