Kris Bryant Ties Ernie Banks for Most Homers in First 5 Years as Cub

Kris Bryant isn’t a drinker, but he may be lining up shots for his teammates after getting such good results from his own last week. Okay, cortisone injections aren’t to be taken or given that lightly. But it does appear as though reducing the pain and inflammation in his right knee has gotten Bryant back to the MVP-level production people have come to expect.

Some people, anyway.

KB went 3-for-3 Saturday with his 29th homer of the season, the third shot he’s hit since getting the, uh, shot. It was also the Cubs’ 235th of the season, tying a franchise single-season record.
