Kelly’s bat keeps Cubs rolling with Tucker sidelined

Last night against the Atlanta Braves, Carson Kelly led the way for the Chicago Cubs, hitting a key home run in a 3-2 victory.

The Chicago bullpen also delivered, pitching 4 2/3 innings after starter Jameson Taillon only lasted 4 1/3.

This homer was Kelly’s fourth in September, just over a week into the month.

In fact, this season has been a career year for Kelly, who has posted a career-high 3.7 WAR, along with personal bests in hits and RBIs. With his 17th home run last night, he is one shy of tying his career high.
