During the Chicago Cubs 2016 season, it seemed like something unbelievable was happening on a near-daily basis. On this date, June 27, back in 2016, reigning NL Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant made history in a monster performance at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.
The sophomore slugger did something just two other players had ever done in one game: collect five extra-base hits. Bryant smacked a trio of home runs, adding a pair of two-baggers for good measure in an 11-8 win over the Reds.
Backing reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta, Bryant got things started in the top of the first against Reds righty Dan Straily, taking an 0-1 pitch down the left field line for an RBI double.
