Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant set the franchise rookie record with his 26th home run of the season on Tuesday.
Bryant launched a 384-foot two-run shot over the wall in left field off Milwaukee Brewers starter Tyler Cravy to pass Hall of Famer Billy Williams, who initially set the record in 1961.

"He's going to hit a lot of home runs," Williams told Carrie Muskat of MLB.com. "He's got a home run swing that's perfect for Wrigley Field."
Bryant now leads all rookies in home runs (26), runs (85), and RBIs (98).
