Cubs left-handed hitter Kyle Tucker stayed inside a fastball and sent it on a line the other way. It carried over the left-field fence for the big hit in the Cubs 4-3 win Tuesday against the Braves.
That three-run homer in the third extended a hot stretch at the plate for Tucker. He entered the game with a 1.207 OPS over the past week and a half.
Tucker, who also singled in the fifth inning to go 2-for-3, left the game after the sixth inning with what the team called left calf tightness.
