It didn’t take long for the Chicago Cubs to make an impact in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game. In fact, it was just the third hitter of the game.
Cubs’ third baseman Kris Bryant took Chicago White Sox ace pitcher Chris Sale deep on the first pitch he saw. Sale mowed down the first two hitters easily before facing Bryant.
