Kris Bryant smashes 2 dingers against Reds
By Braulio Perez
Kris Bryant is on absolute fire for the Chicago Cubs right now. Can anyone slow this guy down? It doesn't look likely. Entering Sunday's showdown with the Cincinnati Reds, the star third baseman had seven homers to his name.
He's changed that in a big way, as Bryant has gone yard twice against Cincinnati. With his nine homers, Bryant is tied with Ronald Acuña Jr. for the MLB lead.
With 2 HR and a 2B today, @KrisBryant_23 is now tied for the @MLB lead in home runs (9) and extra-base hits (19)! #KBoom pic.twitter.com/PXguzhx8st

Bryant is also tied for the most extra-base hits in the bigs? It's almost as if he's a man playing to land a monster new contract from the Cubs. With Bryant set to be a free agent after this season, the Cubs would be wise to extend him as soon as possible.
