It was the lone run the Cubs scored last night in an 11-1 blowout, but it sure was a long dong.
In fact, it was Kris Bryant’s longest homer of the year, per Statcast:
That hanger was destroyed:

It’s been an uneven year for Bryant, but ultimately, he’s right about where you’d hope he’d be: .292/.391/.537, 140 wRC+. The Cubs could definitely use him heating up even further through the end of the year.
