Kris Bryant Leaves Game Early with Sore Right Knee
Kris Bryant has been on a real tear since being moved to the third spot in the lineup and he hammered a two-run homer in the top of the 3rd to put the Cubs up 3-0. But while all the focus on was Anthony Rizzo, who had been unceremoniously tossed from the game for reasons no one seemed able to discern, the Cubs took another hit when David Bote ran out to take third base in the bottom of the 5th inning.
Bryant could be seen wincing after striking out in the 5th inning, but it was hard to tell whether that was due to physical discomfort or the disappointment of going down swinging.
