PITTSBURGH — Going yard for the 25th time on the season, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant redeemed himself after suffering two errors earlier in the contest on Saturday. With a go-ahead solo shot, Bryant put the Cubs up 1-0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The blast at PNC Park led off the seventh inning, and it carried 387 feet out to left field after leaving the bat at 104 miles per hour. Coming on the first pitch of the inning from Pirates hurler Steven Brault, Bryant's bomb sported a launch angle of 26 degrees.
