Chicago Cubs outfielder Nicholas Castellanos has certainly made himself feel right at home since arriving in a trade with the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline, and on Friday, he hit his 10th home run as a member of the Cubs with this monster two-run blast off of Milwaukee Brewers starter Chase Anderson:

Castellanos entered the afternoon slashing .352/.386/.685 over 114 plate appearances in Chicago, and now, he has 10 long balls and 18 RBI in the Windy City.

On the season overall, Castellanos has slashed .290/.340/.509 with 21 homers, 46 doubles and 53 RBI across 553 trips to the dish.

The 27-year-old was originally selected by the Tigers in the first round (44th pick overall) of the 2010 MLB Draft. He went on to make his big-league debut with the club in 2013, logging five hits in 18 plate appearances.
