Ian Happ launched a two-run homer and also stole a base on Wednesday, powering the Cubs to a lopsided 8-2 win over the Twins.
Happ gave Chicago a commanding four-run advantage courtesy of a fourth-inning blast -- his 18th big fly of the season -- off Twins reliever Cole Sands. He also reached on a fielder’s choice earlier in the contest and picked up his eighth theft of the year. It was another statsheet-stuffing effort for Happ, who is up to seven homers and 20 RBI over his last 30 games, despite compiling a lackluster .229 (25-for-109) batting average during that span. He’s settled in as a solid, yet unspectacular OF2 for fantasy purposes as a borderline top 30 option at the position for the remainder of the year.
