CHICAGO -- Hall of Famer Billy Williams has seen every one of Kris Bryant's home runs this season, and he expected the rookie to not only pass his single-season club record but easily add to it.
On Tuesday, Bryant did just that, launching the first pitch from the Brewers' Tyler Cravy with two outs and one on in the third for his 26th home run. Bryant now holds the team's single-season record for most home runs by a rookie, which Williams set in 1961.
Bryant, who leads all Major League rookies in RBIs, with 97, was even coaxed into a curtain call after the homer, waving to the fans from the top of the dugout steps.
