CHICAGO -- It didn't take long for the Brewers to get to the Cubs' Jose Quintana on Tuesday afternoon at Wrigley Field, flipping the script on a pitcher who has dominated them throughout his career.
Lorenzo Cain got a 1-0 fastball right down the middle and clobbered it 422 feet, according to Statcast™, for his third career leadoff homer, and second this season. Three batters later, Ryan Braun smacked a two-run blast on a hanging curveball to give the Brewers a 3-0 lead before the Cubs had batted.
Maybe the highest compliment to 19-year-old Nationals outfielder Juan Soto is that we've come to accept that he's just one of those special talents that comes along every so often.
