Yu Darvish looked sharp in the top half of the first inning, but Kris Bryant stole the show in the bottom half with his 20th home run of the season and second in as many days!

Bryant now joins Kyle Schwarber (21) and Javy Baez (22) in the 20 homer club on the Cubs. Anthony Rizzo (19) and Willson Contreras (19) are each just one away. If Jason Heyward (15) keeps going, the Cubs could very well have SIX guys with 20+ home runs this season.
Kris Bryant is slashing .298/.406/.565 (152 wRC+) this season. That is the best production of his career – including his 2016 MVP season.
