Cubs' Ben Zobrist: Leads of game with homer

Zobrist went 1-for-5 with a home run and a walk against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Analysis:

Manager Joe Maddon wanted to give Dexter Fowler a breather, so Fowler got the day off and Zobrist moved into the leadoff spot. The veteran second baseman responded with his second career leadoff home run. Zobrist is 5-for-15 in four games as the leadoff man this year. He'll likely move back down the order when Fowler returns for the next game.
