After going 4-for-5 with a triple, two RBI, and three runs scored in his first major league start last night, Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber launched his first major league home run -- a two-run shot -- tonight against the Indians. Check it out below:

The Cubs called Schwarber up this week so he could serve as a DH and third catcher while the team plays in American League ballparks. The expectation is that he’ll be sent down to Triple-A Iowa after the weekend. There’s probably nothing he can do to change that, but Cubs fans are witnessing a heck of a cameo right now.
