Bryant, Rizzo Homer As Cubs Edge Mets

Kris Bryant had the perfect housewarming gift for the renovated bleachers at Wrigley Field. Bryant and Anthony Rizzo homered on consecutive pitches in the first, leading Jon Lester and the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night.

The Cubs opened the bleachers in left and center for the first time this season, and Bryant provided a stirring welcome with a two-run shot to left for the prospect's first homer at the cozy neighborhood ballpark.

The outfield seating had been closed to the public while work continued on the aging facility. Another section in right should be finished this summer after bad weather and other issues delayed construction in the offseason.

After Bryant's second homer, Rizzo followed with a drive to right against Jacob deGrom (3-4). The All-Star first baseman is batting .333 with five homers and 10 RBIs in 11 games in May.

Brewers 10, White Sox 7

Elian Herrera felt down last month after not making the Milwaukee Brewers out of spring training. After hitting a homer for the second straight night, the career utility man is making a case for staying in the big leagues for good.

Herrera hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and Khris Davis followed with a solo shot, helping Milwaukee hold off the Chicago White Sox 10-7 on Monday night. It nearly made the team forget it had squandered a 6-0 lead.

Herrera, filling in at third for injured starter Aramis Ramirez, hit his shot into the left-field stands off reliever Zach Duke (1-2) to break a 7-all tie.
