Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo's two-homer performance Friday against the Marlins was a result of a fix with a mechanical issue in Rizzo's swing, according to the Chicago Tribune. Manager Dale Sveum and hitting coach James Rowson found the issue while watching film on Rizzo's swing.
"I'm not going to get into specifics," Rizzo said. "But the finish was a little high, even on some of the home runs, which I didn't like. It was good (Friday). This is going to sound stupid, but the single in my last at-bat was probably my favorite one because that's my swing there -- stay inside the ball. It was a good day overall for myself and the team. It sounds dumb, but looking back at the video, the swing is where I want it to be."
