After a game-tying check swing single, Kris Bryant homered to help the Rockies beat his former team.
On his first try, Kris Bryant made loud, clean contact and got punished with a waste of 405 feet. On his second try, he accidentally halved his swing and was rewarded.
Colorado snapped a five-game losing streak thanks to Bryant’s three RBIs, multiple don’t-you-dare outfield arms and Justin Lawrence’s save. Chicago stranded the tying runs on base in a tense ninth that ended with a Lawrence strikeout. It was the same score, same scenario next time he batted. Jammed by a down-and-in pitch he surely didn’t want to make contact with — especially if the ball was anywhere close to his freshly recovered finger fracture — Bryant checked his swing. But his bat unwittingly poked a blooper down the right field line anyway, near the exact spot the pop-up had dropped earlier. It went into the scorebook as a two-run, game-tying infield single. It sparked two more runs in the inning.
