PHILADELPHIA – The Cubs have limped through a 3-7 stretch over the past week and a half, but Christopher Morel’s bat has stayed hot. Historically so.
In the Cubs’ 12-3 loss Saturday to the Phillies, Morel hit his seventh major-league home run of the year, a solo shot to center field in the eighth inning.
He became the first Cubs hitter in the modern era to hit seven home runs in his first 10 games of a season.
