Bryant exits game with apparent injury

MILWAUKEE -- Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant had to leave Sunday's game in the fifth inning of the Cubs' 4-3 win over the Brewers after a headfirst slide into second base.

The Cubs had runners at first and second with one out when Bryant lofted a ball to center. A run scored on the single, and Bryant tried to extend his single by going to second and sliding head-first under shortstop Jean Segura.

The Brewers challenged whether Bryant was safe on the slide. A review determined the call would stand. But while the umpires were looking at video, athletic trainer PJ Mainville was checking on Bryant at second.
