"I'm just getting good pitches to hit and hitting them, not fouling them off or swinging through them," said Bryant, who is one home run away from tying Chicago's rookie record for home runs (25), set by Hall of Famer Billy Williams in 1961.
This is the longest season Bryant has played, but he's not tired. He took advantage of the just-completed road trip, dining on cheesesteaks every day in Philadelphia.
"It definitely is a grind, it's tough, but I think when you get to this point in the season, especially when you're playing for something like we're playing for, it's easy to get up for the games," Bryant said.
