Watch: Sergio Alcántara Hits First Homer as Cub
The Cubs led the Padres 2-1 in the eighth inning, looking for an insurance run to give the bullpen some breathing room. Sergio Alcántara delivered just that. Sergio launched his first home run as a member of the Cubs, the second of his MLB career, to extend the Cubs lead to 3-1 over the Padres.
