Goes yard in victory Happ went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's 3-1 victory against the Brewers.
Impact The Chicago outfielder slugged a 377-foot solo shot off Tobias Myers in the sixth inning for his 16th homer of the season.

Happ is locked in as an everyday player for the Cubs, playing left field and hitting cleanup.

Happ has maintained his starting role in left field even through cold stretches, so there's little risk of him losing playing time once this hot streak ends.
