Christopher Morel #5 of the Chicago Cubs celebrates after hitting a solo home run against the St. Louis Cardinals during the sixth inning at Wrigley Field on May 09, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.

Cubs utility player Christopher Morel balled his hands into fists at his sides and shouted as his line drive to center field landed in the batter’s-eye shrubbery. He just had tied the score with a solo home run in the sixth inning of his first major-league game of the season Tuesday.

The Cubs, however, would go on to waste Morel’s performance in a 6-4 loss to the Cardinals.
