Watch: Fan View of Kyle Schwarber’s First of Two Homers for I-Cubs

While the Cubs were busy playing like hot garbage in Cincinnati, Kyle Schwarber was doing his best to get back to helping them be slightly less mediocre. The exiled slugger was 5-for-15 with eight strikeouts going into this game, but hadn’t hit anything other than singles. That changed with his first at-bat Friday.

Sorry for the vertical video, but beggars can’t be choosers or whatever that old adage is.

Schwarber went on to ground out and strike out in his next two at-bats before HOMERING AGAIN. Off a lefty. Video pending.

Thanks to @HawkeyeTim515 for the heads-up and to Eric Connor for getting the vid.
