Cubs' Alexander Canario: Cranks first home run
Alexander Canario went 2-for-6 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Marlins.Canario started in left field and batted ninth in both contests, and he delivered his first 2024 home run in the nightcap.
