MUST-SEE: Schwarber smacks solo homer, Cubs reliever catches it with his hat |
ARLINGTON, Texas — For the second straight day, Chicago Cubs power hitter Kyle Schwarber went yard against the Texas Rangers. Serving as the designated hitter, Schwarber drilled a fastball thrown by Rangers starter Lance Lynn in the second inning to put the Cubs up 1-0. The dinger traveled 406 feet out to left-center and left the bat at 107 miles per hour.
#Schwar?? #2 on the season!
Perhaps more impressive than the home run, however, was the hat catch made by Cubs reliever Randy Rosario in the bullpen. While sitting in a chair in the elevated visiting bullpen at Globe Life Park, Rosario used his cap as a makeshift glove and caught Schwarber's bomb to give himself a nice souvenir. There is no word yet regarding whether or not Rosario will sell his prize on eBay. Not sure what was better: Schwarber's blast or Rosario's hat catch... #Cubs #EverybodyIn pic.twitter.com/aHwLCd6fHD
