Cubs catcher Carson Kelly’s at-bat before his game-tying home run Monday told him his swing was in a good place.

“The fly ball to left field, I’m like, ‘There it is,’” he said in a conversation with the Sun-Times Tuesday.

Kelly was the hero in the Cubs’ comeback victory Monday, both hitting a two-run homer to tie the game in the eighth inning and a walk-off RBI single in the 10th. But he knew before both those at-bats that his work to recapture the swing that gave him such a hot start to the season was paying off.
