Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman finally snapped out of his power drought.
After 21 games without a long ball dating back to last year, Tauchman broke out of his power funk in a big way on Tuesday. The 33-year-old veteran smashed not one, but two opposite-field homers against the skiddingTauchman had been heating up recently, so it was only a matter of time before he put one in the seats. He was 7-for-17 with three doubles over his previous five games, so he was clearly seeing the ball well and hitting it hard.
France didn't allow any additional runs after that, but the damage was done. After walking in the third inning and striking out in the sixth, Tauchman homered again to lead off the bottom of the eighth, making the game 7-2. With 27 home runs in 384 career games, Tauchman isn't a big power hitter. On Tuesday, however, he proved he still has some pop in his bat.
