Homers again Sunday Bryant went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-8 win over the White Sox.

Impact Bryant finishes the regular season with home runs in consecutive games, which lends some optimism that he can put a tough campaign behind him and have a productive postseason. The 28-year-old hit four home runs in 34 games during the shortened season to go along with a .644 OPS, which was easily the worst mark of his six-year MLB career.

'I'm kind of over it': Kris Bryant forcefully rejects the criticism he's gotten Injuries and a strange season have conspired to depress the former MVP's numbers. Saturday, he hit a grand slam — and then he had his say.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Nearly doubles RBI total Bryant went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the White Sox.

Impact This has been a season to forget for Bryant; Saturday's homer was his third all year and he still has just a .619 OPS. He recently missed a stretch of time with oblique tightness and spent some time on the IL earlier this year with left finger and wrist soreness. The 28-year-old had a mere five RBI in 138 plate appearance coming into Saturday's game, and his struggles raise further questions about his future with the Cubs heading into his final year of arbitration eligibility.
