---

Cubs slugger Anthony Rizzo hit his 21st homer of the season to give the Cubs a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning against the Pirates on Saturday night.

The home run was off a 98.5 MPH fastball and was the hardest pitch hit by a homer this season since Jake Arrieta crushed a 99.5 MPH fastball earlier in the season.
