Watch: Russell crushes 3-run shot in Cubs' walk-off win

For the second day in a row, the Milwaukee Brewers couldn't hold onto a lead against the Chicago Cubs, and this time the defending World Series champions made them pay in the final inning, thanks to Addison Russell.
After falling behind 4-1 after four innings, the Cubs' offense came alive late, as they entered the ninth down by a single run against Brewers closer Neftali Feliz.
Feliz allowed four earned runs in the inning, including a mammoth three-run shot from Russell - whose casual bat flip was priceless - to end the game in Chicago's favor, 7-4.
The homer was Russell's second of the season, traveled 375 feet, and exited the park at 109 mph - his second-hardest-hit home run recorded by Statcast.
