CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs slugger Kyle Tucker left Tuesday's game with the Atlanta Braves in the seventh inning with left calf tightness.
Tucker hit a three-run homer, his 22nd, in the third inning and singled in three at-bats before being replaced by Willi Castro in right field and Chicago ahead 4-3.
Tucker is batting .400 (16 for 40) in his last 11 games with four homers and 11 RBIs. The hot streak comes after a slump through the first half of August when Tucker batted .138 with no homers and one RBI in 16 games.
