Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning of the Cubs’ 5-1 win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.
Could it be the last time they do that with the Cubs?
It’s been well-documented that the Cubs could go through significant changes by the July 30 trade deadline. Both pending free agents, Bryant seems especially likely to depart while Rizzo could also be on the move.
That’s what made Sunday’s homers so bittersweet for the Wrigley Field crowd of 32,602. The home runs helped the Cubs take two of three from Arizona, but they came in what looks like a lost season at the end of the Cubs’ championship window.
