It’s yet another cold, brisk day at Wrigley Field and the wind is already causing havoc. Luckily, the Chicago Cubs have Albert Almora Jr. and the Milwaukee Brewers don’t.

The Cubs grabbed a 1-0 lead in the third inning, when Javier Baez hit a high pop-fly to center field. Lorenzo Cain never had a clue where the ball was and his outfielder mates couldn’t come to the rescue in time. Almora came around to score with two outs, as he and Baez extended their hitting streaks to 11 games.

In the first inning, Almora ran 120 feet from center to left field to back up Kyle Schwarber, who also lost the ball in the air.
