Kris Bryant hits the virtual track

While baseball is shut down, the Cubs’ Kris Bryant found another sport to keep him busy.

Bryant raced in the Red Bull Homestretch All-Star race on Thursday. The event pitted real-world drivers from organizations like IndyCar, rallycar and motocross as they go head to head in the game Gran Turismo Sport.

The Cubs star took part in the first race against eight other contestants, including Travis Pastranan and 2016 Indianapolis 500 pole winner James Hinchcliffe. He made it up to fourth place on the final lap, but he fell to the back of the pack after a spin out coming around a corner.
