CINCINNATI -- Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant belted three home runs in an 11-8 win over the Reds on Monday night, supplanting Ernie Banks to become the youngest in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
Bryant, 24, who went 5 for 5 with two doubles and six RBIs, was 10 days younger than when Banks did it in 1955.
His five extra base hits were also the most for a Cub since 1885 and his 16 total bases were the most in a game this season, according to ESPN Stats and Information.
Bryant hit No.19 on the season in the third inning, a solo shot to left center. In the fourth, he hit a bomb to the upper deck in left field with two men on for No.20.
Then in the eighth inning he hit another solo shot for home run No. 21. He has six RBIs on the night and 57 for the season.
His last two home runs were his third and fourth longest of the season.
