After an extra inning win against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday, Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo attended the Kenny Chesney concert in Green Bay at Lambeau Field.

Rizzo posted a photo to Instagram of him hanging out with Chesney after his concert.

Great concert by @kennychesney and @jasonaldean had a good time with the boys. A photo posted by Anthony Rizzo (@arizz_44) on Jun 21, 2015 at 3:06pm PDT

No indication on how the Cubs players traveled the 279 miles to Green Bay after the day game in Minneapolis, but it didn’t hurt their performance, winning 8-0 the following day.
