VIDEO: Cubs Extend Lead on Back-to-Back Homers From Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo
By Karl Rasmussen
The Chicago Cubs offense is one of baseball's best, and they continued to showcase how much power is in the lineup day after day. Kris Bryant popped a two-run shot off of Anthony DeSclafani to give the Cubs a 3-0 lead in the third inning, but KB wasn't the only one who wanted to get in on the slugfest. Anthony Rizzo followed that showing up with a solo shot of his own in the very next at-bat.

It can't be easy as a pitcher facing the Cubs, especially at Wrigley Field, and DeSclafani just got a taste of why they present such a formidable challenge.
Maybe he'll think twice before leaving a pitch over the plate to either one of those sluggers.
