Kyle Tucker's thunderous home run late in Game 4 of the National League Division Series made franchise history for the Chicago Cubs.
Tucker's solo home run, which came against Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Robert Gasser in the bottom of the seventh inning, marked the first time a Cubs designated hitter cracked a long ball in the playoffs.

Of course, the designated hitter position was only permanently implemented in the National League in 2022.
