Adding to his stellar rookie resume, Kris Bryant ended a three-game losing streak for the Cubs with a two-run walkoff homer Monday night to beat the Rockies.
The Cubs entered the top of the ninth with a three run lead, but the recently-called-up Rafael Soriano blew the save, allowing four runs and putting the Cubs in an 8-7 hole.

But in the bottom half of the inning, with Dexter Fowler on first and two outs, Bryant made amends for Soriano's mistakes, blasting an 87 mph slider from John Axford over the wall in left center field for his first career walkoff.
It was the Cubs' MLB-leading 10th walkoff win of the season. The homer was also Bryant's 14th on the year, and his second hit of the night — raising his batting line to .254/.358/.453 with 59 RBIs.
