    Chicago Cubs third baseman Christopher Morel.

    Chicago Cubs third baseman Christopher Morel has hit yet another tape-measure home run.

    Despite an 0-2 count, Morel drove Milwaukee Brewers righty Tobias Myers' pitch 430-feet into the left-centerfield bleachers at Wrigley Field in the bottom of the third to give the Cubs a 4-0 lead on Saturday afternoon.

    He has now homered in three straight games, and seven in total this season. Beyond Morel's seven homers this season, he has struggled at the plate.

    The third baseman is hitting .217 with only a .296 on-base percentage, .433 slugging percentage and .729 OPS. He has struck out 28 times.

    But his home run on Saturday was still impressive. It had a 109 mph exit velocity with a 28-degree launch angle.

    It gave Chicago a 90.2 percent win probability.
