I stayed up for that absolutely brutal 10-inning loss against the Padres Tuesday night and woke up joyless. But personal sadness aside, Kris Bryant’s two-homer game in the loss is an extremely encouraging sign.
Bryant received a cortisone shot over the weekend in order to reduce inflammation and minimize pain in his right knee, an injury the former MVP has been addresing since before the All-Star break. Right on cue, KB smacked two homers and said afterwards it was “nice going up there and not having to think about [the knee].”
