Jorge Soler records two hits, long ball in victory for Cubs
Chicago Cubs outfielder Jorge Soler went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI's as the Cubs topped the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.
What It Means:
Soler got the Cubs on the board first with an RBI single in the first inning before slugging a long solo homer in the fourth. According to Statcast, the blast checked in at 461 feet, which is the longest home run by a Cubs player this season. After getting off to a miserable start, the 24-year-old is hitting .346 (9-for-26) with three home runs and six RBI over his last nine games. The talent is clearly there.
For the season, Soler now has a .214/.308/.384 slash in 130 plate appearances with 12 RBI's and five home runs.
