The wind is blowing in at Wrigley Field, but Kris Bryant doesn’t seem to mind. In the first inning the reigning MVP smashed a meatball for a two-run home run off of Miami Marlins starter Dan Straily to give the Chicago Cubs a quick 2-0 lead.
Bryant hit this dinger more than 400 feet, directly into the 17 mph wind. These swings are pretty.
