Objectively, Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker is having a great season. He'll take a .263/.376/.451 (141 OPS+) batting line with more walks (79) than strikeouts (77) into Monday's doubleheader with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Chicago Cubs were dominated in game one against Milwaukee, but they didn't look the same in day two of action. Owen Caissie stepped up to replace Kyle Tucker and showed what he can do.
