It wasn't clear whether Bryant's blast hit the new scoreboard in left, although Cubs manager Joe Maddon thought it did.
"I thought it was over the board," Maddon said. "It was really pummeled. That got everybody stirring a little bit."
According to Statcast™, Bryant's home run traveled 477 feet, which would be fourth-longest home run this year that Statcast™ has measured. Only Seattle's Nelson Cruz (483), Toronto's Josh Donaldson (481) and Miami's Giancarlo Stanton (478) have gone further.
Bryant's home runs can do that. He now has hit seven in his last 17 games, and has 21 RBIs in his last 21 games.
