Willson Contreras couldn`t remember ever leading off a game in his baseball life. He won`t forget his debut at the top of the Cubs` order on Monday night. Contreras, inserted into the No. 1 spot against Nationals lefty Gio Gonzalez, launched a 3-1 pitch to left for a leadoff home run, the fifth this season by the Cubs.
