Michael Busch blasts 427-foot walk-off home run for Chicago Cubs

Posted May 8, 2024
It was quite the evening at the Friendly Confines on Tuesday. Chicago Cubs pitcher Hector Neris put up a scoreless ninth inning. That gave Michael Busch a chance at the plate in the bottom of the ninth. And he delivered. In the pouring rain at Wrigley Field, Busch drove an absolute bomb to the right field bleachers for the walk-off win over the Padres. (NBC Sports)
