Kris Bryant Smashes #MLB Longest HR This Season

He is far ahead of all rookies with 86 RBIs and just one behind Joc Pederson for the most home runs.

The Cubs” Kris Bryant certainly hasn’t hit the proverbial “rookie wall’ this season as he’s batting over.333 since August 1. I’m enjoying the whole scoreboard thing, but I think it would be cool to get one (onto Waveland). “No reason to watch”. “It was a crucial part of the game because he was throwing a no-hitter”.

“I don’t believe in that”. Montero, a left-handed hitter, was left in the game to hit against LHP Matt Reynolds in the sixth. The Cubs finished with a 19-13 mark against the National League West. But they did exactly what they wanted in this series after dropping six of eight. Bryant, who went 1-for-3 with a home run, moved into a tie for second in franchise history for RBIs by a rookie with a monster solo homer to lead off the Cubs’ fifth. Nick Ahmed added a two-run drive off Pedro Strop in the inning before Phil Gosselin struck out, giving the Diamondbacks 11 losses in 14 games.

Astros 8, Twins 5 • Jed Lowrie hit a grand slam in a five-run seventh and Dallas Keuchel became the AL’s first 17-game victor as host Houston rallied. Still, manager Joe Maddon said he’s monitoring Arrieta’s workload and has tried to spare the ace a few innings whenever possible. We’re probably not pitching well enough in the bullpen to be a winning ballclub. “It’s not from lack of effort”.

“We all kind of were just watching it, ” starter Kyle Hendricks said.

Kris Bryant’s monster home run from Sunday (September 6) still has fans talking.

Bryant’s round-tripper was the 23rd of the season for the rookie, as he looks to prove himself to be the best first-year player in a deep bunch. “There’s no hiding it, this kid’s a good defender”, Maddon said. “Otherwise, it would still be flying right now”.

Indians 4, Tigers 0 • Cody Anderson scattered two hits in seven innings, outpitching Justin Verlander, leading visiting Cleveland.

Diamondbacks: The Diamondbacks hope 2B Aaron Hill can return to the starting lineup by midweek.

“It’s a really hot, humid day today”, Hale said. “We’ll see what he feels like when he gets to the ballpark tomorrow”, Maddon said.

RHP Dan Haren (8-9, 3.89) will start for the Cubs on Monday in a series-opener at the rival St. Louis Cardinals.
