Yeah, I would say Kris Bryant is feeling much better from his early-week illness and being hit on the wrist by a pitch. Because the raking continues.
He just hit his 10th homer of the young season, and went opposite field for style points:

Bryant’s season slash line remains a ridiculous .311/.401/.672, with a 186 wRC+ (i.e., 86% better than the average player).
And if you were wondering, no, Bryant doesn’t go oppo much anymore. In fact, that was his first opposite field homer in a long time (especially off a lefty):
That home run by Kris Bryant was his first opposite-field blast since July 4, 2019.
