CHICAGO — Tying Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks for the most home runs hit by a Cub through the first five seasons of big-league action, Cubs third baseman
Kris Bryant whacked a 2-run dinger out to left-center on Saturday. Marking the 136th homer of Bryant's career, the 2-run jack put the Cubs up 7-1.
Going yard off Pittsburgh Pirates starter James Marvel, Bryant smacked a 367-footer in the bottom of the fourth at Wrigley Field.
