The Chicago Cubs treated Scott Feldman like their own personal tee during the fourth inning of Thursday's game.
In an inning where the visiting Cincinnati Reds entered holding a 9-1 lead, the Cubs managed to cut into the deficit thanks to three consecutive home runs during a frame where Kris Bryant had already homered.
Following Bryant's home run, Anthony Rizzo hit a double and Ben Zobrist lined out. Then the fireworks happened. Alex Avila, Ian Happ, and Javier Baez all went yard to cut the lead to 9-5. It's the first time the Cubs have hit back-to-back-to-back homers since September 2004.
