WATCH: Joc Pederson crushes homer against Yu Darvish, mocks Tatis Jr.

---

The Chicago Cubs met up with a familiar face on Wednesday afternoon with Padres pitcher Yu Darvish on the mound.

Darvish has been exceptional but gave up a solo homer to Joc Pederson to tie things up at 1-1 in the fourth inning.

The dinger had an estimated distance of 424 feet and was drilled with an exit velocity of 109.2 MPH.

It was Pederson's seventh homer of the season.

While rounding the bases, Pederson did the Tatis' signature stutter-step while rounding third.

Check out the homer below:
