Cashner Hits First Career Homer

My allegiances will always lie with the Senior Circuit.

Moments like this make that bond even stronger.

San Diego Padres righty Andrew Cashner hit his first big league home run Saturday night, a sixth-inning rocket over the left field wall against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Cashner came up in 2010 as a reliever with the Cubbies, and now he’s cranking out dingers and giving phantom high-fives in the dugout to go with his 7-5 record and sub-4.00 ERA.

Only in the National League.
