Cubs 14, Nationals 6: Kris Bryant’s 3-HR night leads blowout win

There were some Cubs fans — and you know who you are — who were worried about Kris Bryant after he got off to a .221/.341/.351 start over his first 20 games, with only one home run.

Your worries, I think it’s safe to say, are over. KB has been one of the hottest hitters in the National League in May (Len and JD suggested on the broadcast that he might be a candidate for N.L. Player of the Month), and Friday night in Washington he smashed three home runs and the Cubs crushed the Nationals 14-6 in the first of a three-game series.
