Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant got off to an unspectacular start against the Washington Nationals on Friday night, with a single, a strike-out, and a grounder into a double-play in his first three at-bats. He then smashed three home runs out of Nationals Park in the final three innings of the game to power Chicago to a blowout win on the road.
With the Cubs up 3-2 in the seventh inning, Bryant hit a two-run blast into the Cubs’ bullpen off Justin Miller.
In the eighth inning, the Cubs went back-to-back, with homers from Kyle Schwarber and a second from Bryant in succession.
Bryant capped his game with a two-run shot off Matt Grace – and each of Bryant’s three home runs had nearly identical landing zones.
