Bregman's First Cubs HR Boosted by Wrigley Winds

It's March 29th.

Welcome in.

This is MLB News Today, where baseball meets AI.

Alex Breggman smashed his first home run as a Chicago Cove on Sunday in the fourth

inning against the Nationals.

The blast-to-center field off Jake Irvin sailed deep into the bleachers, putting the

north-siders on the board.

Breggman inked a massive five-year $175 million deal over the winter to join the team.

The shot came on a 2-2 cutter, right down the middle, snapping Irvin's no-hit streak

after 10 batters faced.

The rigly crowd lost it as Breggman circled the bases, sticking out his tongue before high-fiving

his new dugout crew.

Right after, Ian Hap kept the rally going with a liner to left for back-to-back homers,

trimming Washington's lead to 3-2.

Earlier on opening day, Hapwashed a sure-homer die in brutal winds, robbed of 113 feet

by Rigley's gusts.

Irvin's fly got the opposite treatment, boosted an extra 25 feet by the breeze.

Rigley flipped the script from foe to friend, giving Breggman the perfect welcome and

pinstripes.
