Bryant belted a solo shot for his 33rd homer to keep pace with the Rockies' Nolan Arenado for tops in the NL, while Russell crushed a two-run blast in the fifth for his 19th homer. Both came off Christian Friedrich, who may be headed to the bullpen next to keep his innings count under control.
Arrieta nearly gave up as many hits as he totaled himself. The right-hander tripled with one out in the sixth, and served up a clean single to right by Alex Dickerson in the second and a two-out double to left by Christian Bethancourt in the eighth.
