"It was a little more meaningful," Bryant said of Saturday's blast, which helped the Cubs beat the Marlins, 7-2. "That other game, what was it, 17-0? We didn't need the runs there. Any hit counts to me, I don't care who you hit it off of."
Said Cubs manager Joe Maddon: "At the end of his career, they all count."
