I-Cubs' Happ notches MiLB-best fifth homer

Ian Happ's scorching start continued Thursday.
The Cubs No. 2 prospect belted a solo homer in the first inning of Iowa's 5-2 win over New Orleans. Happ has five homers in his first eight Triple-A games to move atop the leaderboard across the Minor Leagues this season. 

After Vance Worley (0-1) got two quick outs to start the game, Happ sent a 1-2 offering from the right-hander the other way into the outfield suites behind the left-field fence for his second homer in as many games.

The 2015 first-round pick singled to right in his next at-bat. He finished 2-for-4.
Happ, who didn't hit his fifth homer last season until May 24, has logged a slash line of .303/.361/.788 with eight RBIs this season.
In 134 games between Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach and Double-A Tennessee in 2016, Happ sported a line of .279/.365/.445 and finished with 15 home runs and 73 RBIs.
