Paredes went 2-for-5 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.
Paredes helped pile on to the rout, launching his 19th home run of the season in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old has recorded three of those long balls in 24 games for the Cubs since coming over in a late July trade, and he's batting .161 for his new team. That's not exactly what fantasy managers had in mind, but Paredes should continue to see regular playing time, and he has the talent to turn things around in a hurry.
