Chicago Cubs utility player Christopher Morel crushed a two-run homer on an 85 MPH changeup to pull the Northsiders within one run at 3-2 in the third inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

It was his 17th homer of the season (in only 65 games) and it traveled an estimated 435 feet.

Morel made history with the homer as he is the fourth player ever to homer from every lineup spot in a season.
