Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo demonstrated on Monday just how important his bat has been to the team's offense this season. 

Sidelined since Aug. 26 with a lower back strain, Rizzo returned to the lineup and belted his team leading 31st home run in the ninth inning to beat the Cincinnati Reds 1-0.
