Ian Happ Homers and Steals a Base in Cubs Win
Ian Happ helped his team rally to an extra-inning win on Labor Day against the visiting Braves. Happ finished the game 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. He has 19 homers and six stolen bases on the year while hitting .238 with a .328 wOBA in 126 games. The 31-year-old switch-hitter has been solid for the resurgent Cubs this season and has picked things up over the last month. Since August 1, he is hitting .277 with four of those 19 homers along with a .378 wOBA. Monday's win keeps the Cubs in a great spot to make the postseason with nine games between them and the Reds, the first team out of the playoffs. They are 5.5 games behind the Brewers in the chase for the NL Central. Happ and the Cubs continue their homestand with two more against Atlanta before hosting the Nationals this coming weekend.
